Because of detrimental comments from the UH levelling sheet for this station i.e. BM@ is not stable so not a good Primary benchmark also in the survey of 2008 reference is made to the re-construction of the pier. Because of these comments the station has reverted to 'Metric' as although BM VI was latterley adopted as the Primary benchmark it is still not stable.
