Abstract: |
MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) carried out a programme of historic building recording of two Gasholders at the former Liverpool Street Gasworks, Salford, Greater Manchester. Both were mid-late 19th-century examples of cast iron column-guided gasholders. Gasholder 3 was constructed by Westwood and Wright Ltd in 1869 and was originally a single-order holder which was later enlarged by the addition of a fourth lift and heightened with an additional tier of columns. Gasholder 4 was built in 1879 by Thomas Piggot and Co and was a three-lift gasholder with triple-order columns. Archaeological recording was also carried out during the demolition of the holders and it was found that Gasholder 3 was untrussed and had a static wooden crown frame surviving within the tank. Gasholder 4 by contrast was trussed and had a central brick stanchion to support the crown frame when deflated. |
