From information extracted from the UH levelling sheets it appears that the RLR diagram was drawn using the values from the 1977 levelling. In subsequent levelling exercises the Primary Benchmark on the diagram UH1 is not stable. UH now appear to be using the tide staff value of 2.604m relative to the datum.
