Abstract: |
Historic building recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology for CgMs Consulting, of the buildings related to former use as a Gasworks, on an extensive site on the Bristol, Road, Gloucester. The gasworks was founded in 1875. Of this earliest foundation, only a few boundary walls and a partly demolished gate lodge survived above ground. The infilled brick pit for the eastern gasometer of 1875 was visible on the site visit. The complete but sunken and completely empty gasometer on the north, added in 1901 was also visible. The stanchions of the rising framework for this were removed in 2001 and the stumps are still in situ. A brick-built office on the south side of the entrance road looked as if it belonged to the first phase, but does not appear on mapping until 1936. The other buildings recorded all belonged to the experimental gas production plant established in the 1950s. |
