Abstract:		 In February 2016 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the gasholder station at Pride Park, Derby, Derbyshire (NGR: 437124 335192). The work was commissioned by Montagu Evans LLP on behalf of National Grid, in advance of the demolition of the structures on the site as part of a scheme to remediate the site ahead of redevelopment. The gasholder compound comprises two large gasholders; number '6' to the south, and '7' to the north. The gasholders dominate the site, which is primarily paved with hardstanding, with occasional sections of hardstanding. Two ancillary buildings (the antifreeze pump house and boiler house) are situated between the holders to the west. The south end of the site contains a modern gas station, and was not included in the building record. Constructed in 1956/7 and 1960/2 the gasholders represent fairly typical mid-20th century water-sealed spiral-guided design, based on a developed design by Gadd and Mason of Manchester (1887). The existing gasholders and plant form the last phase of expansion of an earlier gasworks established by the Derby Gas Light and Coke Company in 1867, originally situated to the west of the current site, the whole being illustrative of the evolution of the gas industry from its origins at the beginning of the 19th century, up until the present day.
