Although the Meridian crosses a number of roads on its short journey across East Yorkshire, only the two B roads (of which this is one) are known to be marked. The same sign appears in both locations. The plaque in front dates from 2000. Although Patrington took part in the ‘Meridian Day’ celebrations in 1984, the Meridian does not appear to have been marked (at least in any permanent way) until 1999–2000.
