Cracks in the Dunedin Gasworks Museum’s 25m-high brick chimney may not be that new. The trust that runs the museum says it is not clear whether cracks in the structure have been exacerbated by the recent 6.8 earthquake off the southern Southland coast. The Dunedin City Council yesterday said the museum would close for at least a week while the safety of the site’s chimney stack was assessed after a member of the public noticed a lightning rod running up the chimney was not flush with the brickwork. https://lnkd.in/gQ9qkPmh
