Hi urban rambler
.
The first photo here is a close-up of that Bench Mark that I photographed on March 16 2012. The second shows its location in the base of the pillar that is in the centre of that photo taken March 16 2012.

This Bench Mark (BM) is at bridge number 225H where that rail bridge crosses the Leeds & Liverpool Canal near to Leeds Station. I was surprised to spot the BM as I was only cursorily looking at the old stone work at the bridge when passing by on the canal tow path on October 24 2017. On looking at the Old Maps UK website I found there was a BM there in at least 1891. The first photo is a close-up of the BM and the second shows its location at the base of the jutting out structure between the lamp post and the graffiti.
PS. Note the 3 friendly swans on the canal. They will be used to seeing people and will come to you presumably expecting some food. They will happily take grass from your hand, though be careful for your fingers!
