A view from Portishead encompasses much of the Royal Portbury Dock and Avonmouth Dock complex and this building can be seen. The satellite view on the Bing map link shows a building at the TP location with a shadow that matches the profile of the current building that can be seen.

Docks view The building corresponding with the rivet location is on the right. At first I thought the large building in the background was the Spillers Silo TP10853 but it's a similar building out of shot.

From Sheepway walked along Wharf Lane, past the Portbury Wharf nature reserve area, turning E at end of the RoW, the path follows the top of the dyke to the boundary fencing for Bristol Port at ST 49040 77300, after which no further progress can be made. This is probably as close as is possible to get to the trig without a very dodgy trespass.

ST57 T252 RIVET. located within the port complex access is restricted. From the hills to the SW (TP11487) it is possible to see a small tower behind the large warehouses structures. This is in the correct location for the Lift and Tank House, it is impossible to be 100% certain this is the correct building at this range, although it does match the photo on http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1142688. Even more difficult to confirm if rivet still exists.

Lift and Tank House can you get any closer?
