No change. Flood Mark Stone leaning a little. How accurate is fb now?

Looks vaguely trig-esque. Flood mark stone also appeared to have something similar to a cut BM on the side facing the river.

The lock keeper kindly allowed me to cross to get a photo of the FB. The pillar appears not to be attached to the ground and has a distinct lean. It may have shifted form it's original position.
