Armagh Gasworks
Creator: H. Allison & Co. Photographers
Date: 1926
Original Format: Glass Plate Negative
Description: Outdoor photograph of the gas holder at Armagh Gasworks, Gas Lane, Armagh.
The production of coal gas was started in Armagh in 1833. This larger gas holder was built in 1926 to meet increased demand. After the Second World War the use of gas declined as electricity steadily increased in popularity. On the cessation of the making of coal gas the company changed to imported liquefied natural gas but closed in 1987 and the gas holder was later demolished.
