Abstract: |
Historic building recording of gasholder prior to and during its demolition. The work was carried out to Historic England level 2 standards and included a photographic survey of the exterior and interior of the gasholder. The gasholder was spirally-guided with an above-ground tank and three lifts. It was a late example of this type and was constructed in the late 1950s or early 1960s as a regional distribution holder. The gasholder's overall design, form and method of operation was found to be typical of gasholders of its type and period, at which time, following a national switch from town gas to North Sea natural gas Britain's stock of gasworks had become redundant and were subject to widespread demolition with only the gasholders retained as part of regional distribution networks. |
