Notes
Film friendly
This is an active industrial site and therefore may look different than photos – things change and move around constantly. Most areas are available but might be so at an extra charge, i.e. the pier and the salt pile (which is gone for summer) – Salt pile below is gone but there is another pile that’s more interesting not in shots. The pier can sometimes be made available but its difficult to shoot – we discourage shooting here because its hard to get equipment unto it, and dangerous – insurance requirements increase when shooting on pier
