Description GSC bronze tablet set horizontally in an abandoned sandstone building measuring 3.6 m by 4.3 m and belonging to Robin, Jones and Whitman and halfway between the new government basin and the old one; it is located on the front wall to the southwest, 0.28 m from the west corner. The tablet is slightly unstable, as the cement around it is disintegrating. In 2021, a saw cut was made in the centre of the BM, in the slot, so that it would be easier to use with the levelling chisel - See the comment field. Chisel to level required.
