On a slightly similar though perhaps less useful note, a colleague of mine runs https://govbins.uk, collecting pictures of council bins, so maybe take a photo of your bins too while you’re out doing benches. I love British whimsy projects.

And you can see highlights on Mastodon: @openbenches@botsin.space

This is a wild hobby. What inspired you to create a place for people to document memorial benches?

Cheers for this, will keep an eye out! Sometimes it feels like there's more benches than people here. I love it.

Well this is a lovely project! Apparently no benches recorded anywhere near me so will definitely start keeping an eye out 👍

Hmm, a recent wander round Kew Gardens led me to suspect that it was bound to be a hotspot and indeed it was. Great site, thanks for sharing it!

I saw one somewhere that opened with, "Wet Paint!", and then in smaller letters said who it was dedicated to.

I like this idea! There’s a load along the river by me that aren’t on there yet, and probably more around the village, I’ll try and grab them later on when I’m out for a walk.
