Yes, Liverpool's last gas holders have gone.
Wavertree Gasworks, Spofforth Road/Wavertree Road.

Wavertree certainly existed in 1857, and had four gasometers, though whether these two are that old, I wouldn't know.
The left hand photo is a zoom view from Smithdown Road, and Wavertree Road is behind me on the other photo - note St Dunstan's Church in Earle Road.
