Abstract: |
The Historic Environment team at The Environment Partnership (TEP) Ltd undertook historic building recording and a watching brief prior to and during the demolition of Gasholder 4 at the Uxbridge Road gasholder station (formerly Uxbridge Road Gasworks), in Slough. The site commenced gas manufacturing in c1902 and Gasholder 4 was built in 1935 to expand the site's storage and distribution capability. The gasholder was built by the Manchester-based company R and J Dempster and was a spirally-guided gasholder with three lifts and above-ground tank. The inter war period saw a large number of gasholders built at gasworks across the country, and the spirally-guided design as recorded at Uxbridge Road was typical of the approach to these structures and remained essentially the standard for gasholder design into the 1960s. |
