📍 SAVE OUR TRIG POINTS – PROTECT THE POINTS, PRESERVE OUR HISTORY This is my favourite trig point. Like thousands of others across Britain, it represents an incredible chapter in our mapping history. Between 1936 and 1962, more than 6,500 triangulation pillars were built as part of the retriangulation of Great Britain. For decades they helped Ordnance Survey accurately map the country we know today. But their job is largely finished, and many are now deteriorating, damaged or disappearing from our landscape. I think they deserve better. That’s why I’ve launched the Save Our Trig Points campaign, calling for greater recognition and protection of these iconic pieces of our national heritage. ✍️ SIGN THE PETITION: petition.parliament.uk/petit… And I want to see yours. 📸 Post a photo of your favourite trig point in the comments and tell us where it is and why it means something to you. Then please sign the petition and share this post. The more people who get behind the campaign, the harder it becomes for those who can actually protect them to ignore it. They may just look like lumps of concrete on hilltops, but they tell an important story about British surveying, engineering and exploration. Let’s make sure they’re still standing for future generations. Protect the Points. Preserve Our History. #SaveOurTrigPoints #ProtectThePoints #TrigPoints #BritishHistory #MappingHistory #OrdnanceSurvey #WalkingUK #Heritage #PeakDistrictViking
