Abstract:		 The Environment Partnership (TEP) carried out archaeological observation during the demolition of Gasholders 1 and 2 at the former Ribbleton Lane Gasworks, Preston, Lancashire. Gasholder 1 was a spiral-guided gasholder built in 1955, replacing a column-guided gasholder of 1869 and utilising the below-ground tank of the earlier holder. The gasholder was typical of this type and period with trussed crown frame, riveted crown sheets and top curb and welded lift sheets, and square cup and grips. The replacement of a column-guided gasholder with a spirally-guided one was a very common development on gasworks and allowed the site's storage capacity to be considerably increased within the existing site boundaries. Gasholder 2 was a giant single-order, single-tier column-guided gasholder built in 1855 by Thomas Piggot and Co. of Birmingham and indicates the form of gasholder replaced in 1955. The gasholder remained essentially unaltered at the time of survey and the two lifts had a riveted construction with round cup and grips. The crown was trussed rather than utilising a static frame and when at rest was supported on a central concrete column. The first lift utilised a less common form of vertical stiffener. Neither of the two gasholders' tanks included a dumpling.
