Commenced 27th. Decembeb, 1850. Completed 29th. February, 1856. 



(This line of levels enters Herefordshire at Hay, passes through Leomin- 

 ster, and leaves the county at Kid Castle, 2^ miles S.W. of Tenbury. The 

 coach road from Hay to Tenbiuy, through Leominster, is followed, but there 

 are branches to trigonometrical stations as stated above ; thus Eardisley, 

 Weobley, Eambolton, &c., possess Ordnance Bench marks, although these 

 places are not situated on the direct road from Hay to Tenbury, and are, 



therefore, out of the main line of leyels. — E. J. I.)
