Gasworks

The old gasworks in Launceston goes back to the 19th century. Coal was delivered from the mines by railway and converted to methane gas in the large building at the back of the shot.. This gas was then stored in the large gasometer. The frame of this still stands today, although it is a long time since any gas was produced or stored here. No attempt has been made to straighten this infra red shot and it is pretty much straight out of camera.
