Excellent and very useful Gasworks image, showing the three gasholder technical styles from throughout the history of manufactured gas in England.

Dear Allen, thanks for your observations. The gasholders are long-gone, as you’d expect, but the manager’s house is still there, now ‘re-purposed’ as an infant’s nursery. With best wishes, Neil (editor).
