Anderby Creek OS triangulation station ("trig point"), computing year 1950.
The plaque states:
"From 1935 these Triangulation pillars, or trig points, were instrumental in the making of Ordinance Survey Maps. When they ceased being used, this one was 'adopted' by Arthur R. Davenport of Failsworth, Manchester. Since his death, the Parish Council now keeps it as a unique part of Anderby Creek's history".
The "Flush Bracket Number" is also present, cast into the levelling plate - numbered S5965.
