Old Gas Works
[Enlarge these shots for detail.]
The sun sets on the old gas works. Although it has not been used to produce gas from coal since the 1970s, it still retains a presence across the road from the City Park.
The vertical retort building was where methane gas was produced from coal. This gas was then stored in the gasometer. Only the frame of that still exists in the foreground.
