In 1984, as part of the Meridian’s ‘centenary celebrations’ commemorative six-inch diameter plastic plaques (of which this is one) were offered to any individual who could show that the Meridian passed through the curtilage of their property. Potential claimants were required to write to their regional office of the Ordnance Survey to verify their claim and send this as proof of authenticity to the English Tourist Board who were distributing them.
