Both Wisbech Road and Benwick Road (to the south) have identical pairs of wooden marker posts (one on either side of the road). This particular post was dislodged when the grass verge was cut during the week 16–23 June 2018. In the final (third) image of the June 2018 image set, the post that is standing is the one on the other side of the road.
