BBC News
It's not much to look at - an anonymous red-and-white concrete hut that has that familiar battered seaside look.
"But the building, on the end of South Pier in Cornwall's Newlyn Harbour, is celebrating an important anniversary.
It was measurements made in the hut, and completed on 30 April 1921, that established mean sea level."
