Abstract:		 Archive Research Standing Building Survey (Level 1) AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by SGN to undertake an historic building survey of the redundant gasholder at Park Road, Worthing in West Sussex in advance of its demolition. A gasworks on the Park Road site was established in 1834 after John Bryan from Bryan, Howden & Co, a gas contractor in Southwark, entered into an agreement with Worthing Town Commissioners to supply the town with gas. By the late 19th century there were two gasholders on the site, each with a flying lift to cope with the rising demand for gas from consumers. The works then expanded after 1900 with another site at Goring adopted to house another gasholder. By 1912, the earliest gasholder on the site had been taken down and in 1933 the remaining gasholder was completely rebuilt. In 1939 – 1940, demand for more gas led to the construction of the present gasholder – known as Gasholder No 3 – being constructed after the demolition of the gasworks buildings in the corner of Lyndhurst Road and Park Road. A spiral-guided gasholder, it was constructed some 50 years later after this type of gasholder was first used in the 1920s. With three lifts, it has a capacity of approximately 1,649,000ft³ (46,695m³). The other two smaller gasholders (Nos 1 and 2) were not demolished until the late 20th century.
