Immaculate ‘R4’ Class Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank (Works No.2100 built in 1949) had been transferred to Hilsea from the Southern Gas Board’s Blackwater Gasworks in Surrey during January 1961. The Hilsea works was rebuilt in 1963 from a conventional gasworks to a naphtha reforming plant, after which only limited rail traffic was handled from the sidings adjoining the B.R. London Waterloo-Portsmouth line. The Peckett was unsuitable for handling such an inflammable product and consequently saw very limited use after the mid-1960s. Rail traffic at Hilsea ceased in 1985, closely followed by the closure and demolition of the works. The gasworks first came into production in 1905 and had extensive supporting rail systems, standard and 2ft 6 in gauges, the latter being replaced by conveyors in 1920. The Peckett is now preserved in full working order on the Helston Railway in Cornwall.

Meetup in Seattle with the Brotographers when Jack Strutz and Valerie Sebestyen came to visit WA. Twas fun. Met some chill new people and went to cool places around Seattle although we got lost all the time and had to ask Connor for directions the whole time haha.
The staff at the Southern Gas Board Hilsea Gasworks were not only accommodating by allowing my visit after making a speculative telephone call earlier in the day, but also very kindly retrieved the Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank from its shed for photography. Here class '88DS' Ruston and Hornsby 'Fleet No.1139' (Works No.463153 built in 1961) draws ''2' (Peckett works No.2100 built in 1949) out of the shed on 26th May 1971. The ‘88DS’ Ruston was one of the last of this class to be built by the manufacturer, and was used for handling the irregular consignment of rail tanks of naphtha brought in from the Esso Fawley refinery. Both locos were maintained in immaculate condition by the SGB and both are survivors, the Ruston now being cared for at the Quainton Railway Centre in Buckinghamshire and the Peckett at the Helston Railway.

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.

A ventilation shaft above Gasworks Tunnel, King's Cross. I think, (although I can't be certain) that it is above the recently reinstated eastern bore of 1892. The vent has since been removed. 22nd June 2010.
Quite nice for me to try new things, and letters are one of them, so tried to form them from the gas coming from the Spectre, works ok i guess!
This reminds me of a french noir in a way. Dark, gloomy, and with a beautiful lonely woman, feeding the birds.

I just love the pattern of the switchbacks on this path to the top of the little hill at Gasworks Park.

Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank 'No.17' (W/No.1286 of 1912) when photographed at The South Eastern Gas Board's East Greenwich gasworks in the early 1950s was a member of an extensive fleet of seventeen four-coupled saddle tanks built by Hawthorn Leslie, William Bagnall, Peckett and Avonside, employed to convey coal from the landing piers on the Thames to to the plant. The gasworks was the last to built in London, by the South Metropolitan Gas Company. between 1881 and 1886. Originally manufacturing town gas from coal brought in by river (barges are visible on the Thames in the background) and exporting coke and chemicals. The plant was adapted in the 1960s to produce gas oil. was the last gas works to be built in London, and the most modern. Originally manufacturing town gas from coal brought in by river and exporting coke and chemicals, the plant was adapted to produce gas from oil in the 1960s. Nothing remains but a single gas holder, built in 1886, one of two originally on the site. Redevelopment of the site began in the 1990s, the first development being the Millennium Dome. Today the site is covered by many developments including the O2, North Greenwich tube station and the David Beckham Academy.

The new gasworks at Whaley Bridge was erected in 1927 to replace an earlier works a short distance away that was too small to meet demand. Today a few buildings remain in industrial use, but the two gasholders have been removed. The stepped brickwork in the panels of the gable were repeated in other buildings on the site. Photos of the construction can be seen on three pages here:
