Abstract:		 In July 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the Tayfen Road Gasholder Station, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 1TB (NGR: 585134 264854). The work was commissioned by Montagu Evans LLP on behalf of National Grid, in relation to the proposed redevelopment of the gasworks site. As existing, the site contains a single gasholder (Gasholder No. 112), a series ancillary buildings including a reception and storage units alongside open storage areas and open land. In addition, the site comprises associated E and I equipment, including town and district governors and a fan booster. The gasholder was constructed by 1956 by Firth Blakeley Son and Co Ltd. and represents a typical mid-20th century water sealed holder. The gasholder is based on a British spiral-guided design patented in 1887 by Gadd and Mason of Manchester. Its steel construction and above ground tank is reflective of the continued advances in gasholder innovation. The exiting gasholder and plant dates to the 1950s and forms part of an expansion of a former works established in 1834, originally situated to the south of the current site. The gasholder, as part of the wider site to the north of Tayfen road was constructed in response to the need for increased gas storage capacity and manufacture within Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding wider area.
