Viewed from entrance gate to N and also from E across railway line - no sign of a flagstaff. Impressive site in its own way.

NZ42 T328 Flagstaff and Rivet. INEOS chloro compounds, a large industrial chemical plant with a lot of modern equipment and even more security. from the fence an old building in the correct location with what looks like a machine room on the roof for lift equipment. No sign of the flagstaff and impossible to confirm presence or absence of rivet. I'm just amazed the building still exists.
