I was able to zoom in and see what was the CORS. Trust where the arrow points. It's leftish. TFTC.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Lots of rain about today but it's quiet had to use other photos to find the location l had to make it fast as the rain is getting heavier now
followed the coordinators. couldn't get closer than 119 mts as it is behind a security fence.
I was surprised to see it in its position and even more surprised that I could drive so far in to the power station property. Photo is from my phone, but I got even closer to it and took a shot with the SLR. I’ll add that when I return home.

Since spotting this on the GNSS Network map, I have been told that this town is not what it once was. The CORS is currently offline, so maybe it no longer exists. That won't stop me from having a look see in April.
