The Hemlock Stone was lost from my memory until I saw this video. I lived in Chilwell, not far away. I’d go there for a ride on my bike. Back in the days when going for ride on a bicycle was a common thing for kids to do to pass the morning in a school holiday.

Fab to see my old play ground! Born in ‘Stabbo’ (Stapleford) way back in ‘69 grew up in Chilwell & Beeston. Love trig points, there are around 25,000 in the uk btw, definitely not just a Peak District thing, they are the basis of our wonderful, worlds best OS maps. Love these local history vids ❤❤ thank-you for making them.

FYI Ant, Chetwynn Barracks is in Chilwell. Also used to be a massive Ordnance Depot just outside Ruddington, that you may want to visit at sometime.

The black thing on the trig point with the number on it is called a 'flush bracket' and is a benchmark. Something the surveyors used for levelling, not triangulation. The numbers are a unique identifier to that flush bracket; no 2 flush brackets exist with the same identifier.

Hi Ant, another great explore very interesting & stunning drone footage. The house in its heyday day was beautiful would love to have seen that. Nice gardens & woodland to walk around yes ice houses were popular in victorian times as well my Aunty's house had one. Take care see you soon. 😊👍

Great video Ant, thanks for the time and effort you put into producing them, the ice house is very similar to the one down Clifton grove near Clifton village, same construction probably built around the same time as each other

Nice video. Dunno why but it's never occurred to me that the garden was originally connected to the house! The Hemlock stone has those markings as it was either laid down in water, close to a desert or was entirely a desert deposit - there are similar outcrops near my house in Sherwood and in my garden if I dig deep enough!

A nice little video to watch. I wonder why the house was demolished. 🤔 The road you crossed over was very long and straight... wonder if it was a roman road at one time. Thanks for recording and sharing.

@@TrekkingExploration The 3 nearest trig columns to Stapleford Hill are Bramcote Park (1 mile south near the hall you visited in the other video), Risley (300m NE of Church) and No Mans Lane a mile NW of Sandiacre. (but I think that one might have been destroyed)

@markforsyth2721 3 ай бұрын

Ant, the “three pointed star” on the top of the Trig point, point in the direction of a further three trig-points. This was, I believe, how they originally “triangulated” and mapped the country. If you had taken bearings whilst up there, you could have then used an OS map to identify where the other 3 are.
