Grid Ref'S

[JohnQuinn]

I confess to knowing Nothing about grid references but wonder if any PB members can tell me what the difference in distance is between.....

 

Easting......+278075 Northing......+655618

&

Easting.......*278075 Northing.....+655718

sorry John , i dont know either .why is there a diffrence "highlighted" on your post ??

[andy Burgess]

have just had a thought , is the diffrence = relevant to the distance covered ?? and is Earths curvature taken into account because of distance ?? and maybe why theres another figure shown ?? (if thats clear )

Because in my Da's book there is a note of our lofts Grid References, the References with the SHU are different by one number than those of my Da's so i was wanting to know what the difference is before i greet about it

 

Could be an Inch as far as i know

........Ma Da was meticulous with the doos Andy, this is one of those things he wouldn't get wrong, he was too careful for that. So before i dig them up about it in the office i thought i better just find out if its even worth asking

Spot the difference - 100 m north

[Pigeon Thos]

Somewhere off Lands end is the point 000000,000000 you are 655.618 Km North and 278.075 Km East of that point

[JohnQuinn]

VERY interesting thanks very much Thos,

 

NEITHER of the gardens marked in the pics are mine.

 

The point marked in pic 2 is just over the fence from me right enough.

 

My house faces onto the half moon shaped park, the one with the Red Car and white Astra van parked in front of it. The garden is very long and meets the other garden at the very bottom.

Can i assume the 2nd pic is +655718?
