Abstract: |
MOLA carried out a programme of historic building recording of two gasholders at the former Wincobank Gasworks, Sheffield. The gasworks began operating in 1938, initially comprising Gasholder 1, a 73m tall spiral-guided gasholder with a static steel base-tank, and a much smaller tank, gasholder 2, which was dismantled by the mid-1970s. Gasholder 1 was un-trussed and dismantling revealed a tall, multi-tier crown-rest. Gasholder 3 was constructed in the late 1940s-early 1950s. It had a fairly unique design comprising a partly above-ground concrete tank, with the dumpling being sunk several meters into the ground. The gasholders have been dismantled to allow redevelopment of the site. |
