Default Chevington Drift Plaque Location

I've been asked several times now where the commemorative plaque is located that marks the site of Chevington Drift.

the grid reference of the location is NZ 26242 99095

or

latitude /longitude is 55.285288 -1.5883881

or

x and y coordinates are 426242 599095

if you copy and paste the decimal lat/long numbers into google maps search it will show the point eg: 55.285288 -1.5883881 marked with a green arrow (not the red marker) the limestone boulder the plaque is mounted on is visible on that map.





The site of the former East Chevington Drift Mine.
This 5 tonne limestone boulder was preserved from East Chevington Opencast Coal Site
which worked 1982 – 1994 and now stands on the site of the East Chevington Drift Mine which operated 1882 - 1962.
