Built in 1903 in Reading along the river Kennet.
In the Governor house the gas pressure and the volume were regulated before entering in the distribution system.
Ein schöner Spätsommertag in Dublin... ich wandere entlang. Hinter den üppig grün belaubten Bäumen taucht immer wieder ein Gebäude auf, dessen Form ich nicht einzuordnen vermag, es sieht interessant aus - aber ist es jetzt eher antik oder modern?
Beim Näherkommen erweckt es mehr und mehr den Eindruck eines Industriebaus. Meine Neugier ist geweckt und während ich die Einfahrt ansteuere, kann ich nun bereits lesen, was in großen Lettern auf dem Hinweisschild steht: GASWORKS DUBLIN
Ein heruntergekommenes Gasometer hat man, nachdem es seiner ursprünglichen Bestimmung nicht mehr diente, völlig entkernt, bis nur noch das Stahlgerüst übrig blieb. Dieses wurde anschließend komplett neu bebaut.
Verantwortlich für die Umgestaltung und das Design zeichnet der irische Architekt O’Mahony Pike.
Das Resultat: moderne Luxuswohnungen in einem alten Stahlkorsett.
Auch wenn das Gebäude von außen kalt und eher etwas abweisend wirkt, als ich den Innenkreis betrete, finde ich angenehm warme Farben vor, die einzelnen Etagen sind über Fahrstühle erreichbar und jede Wohnung verfügt über einen Balkon, von dem aus die Bewohner einen wunderbaren Blick über den begrünten Innenhof genießen.
Wohnen möchte ich dort nicht, aber der Faszination des Gebäudes konnte ich mich nicht entziehen...

"I met my love by the gasworks wall... Dreamed A DREAM BY THE OLD CANAL... I kissed my girl by the factory wall... Dirty old town... Dirty old town..."
En 1955, la société des entrepôts frigorifiques de l’Union met en service sur le môle 3 un nouveau magasin frigorifique pour remplacer l’ancien construit durant la Première Guerre mondiale dans le but de conserver les vivres destinées aux soldats. Servant à la réception et au stockage de denrées périssables telles que les viandes, les œufs, les fromages, ce second bâtiment d’une capacité de 4000 tonnes dispose de chambres offrant trois possibilités de température allant de - 24 ° à + 2 °. Propriété du Port autonome, il est loué depuis 1987 au Centre d’archives du Nord qui y conserve à l’abri des variations de température et d’humidité les documents commerciaux de sociétés privées.

"Une atmosphère incroyable se dégage de cette composition, ces bâtiments sans âme, le cargo, les flèches des grues qui pointent vers le ciel donnent une force étrange à cette image amplifiée par le format panoramique !" (René CARRERE / www.flickr.com/photos/143018951@N07/)

I shot this photo upon the Kite Hill at Gas Works Park in Seattle. The weather was full cloudy gray. It has been raining for days. Wasn't expect the clouds to clear out faster & change colors. I was alone on this hill for a short while. Finally we, the Seattleites finally got a break from the rain!
I had come up to London to take a few pictures and photographed at Paddington Old Oak Common St Pancras and King's Cross that day. I went to King's Crost last and the light was fading fast as Class 46 46011 is seen heading heading into Gaswork's tunnel. 31127/201223/227/249/301/405. 46043 40160 47422/423/456/518/521/541. 55009/19/20 were also here. 14/12/1974.

Question to ChatGPT:
How is the site of the former Gaswerk Ost used today in Frankfurt?
Answer:
The former Gaswerk Ost site in Frankfurt, also known as the East Gasworks, is no longer used for its original purpose of gas production. Instead, it has been transformed into a mixed-use area that incorporates various functions.
One of the main uses of the site is now focused on creative industries and cultural activities. The former gasworks buildings have been repurposed into art studios, exhibition spaces, and creative workshops. This has attracted many artists, designers, and other creative professionals to the area, creating a vibrant artistic community.
Additionally, the Gaswerk Ost site also incorporates residential buildings, making it a residential area as well. The former gasometers, which were once used to store gas, have been converted into modern living spaces, providing unique and industrial-style apartments.
Furthermore, the site includes several recreational and leisure facilities. This includes parks and green spaces that are open to the public, providing a pleasant environment for relaxation and outdoor activities. The location of the former gasworks near the Main River also enhances its attractiveness.
Overall, the Gaswerk Ost site in Frankfurt is now a multifunctional area that combines artistic, residential, and recreational features, contributing to the cultural and social life of the city.
Het Radium est un espace extérieur dynamique du quartier du Sphinxkwartier, composé de la Radiumplein, de la Stadsweide, du Gashouder et de la Gashouderplein. Het Radium possède une riche histoire liée au caoutchouc, un passé encore visible dans les bâtiments existants, comme la cheminée Radium de 45 mètres de haut et le bâtiment LAB. L'usine à gaz municipale (également connue sous le nom de Coca-Cola) date d'une époque antérieure. Le grand Gashouder vert près de Stadsweide a été construit dans les années 1950. Grâce au déplacement du débarcadère du Noorderbrug, Het Radium occupe désormais un emplacement bien visible et facilement accessible.
Le Radium est un environnement urbain dynamique offrant un vaste espace à la culture, à la créativité et aux interactions sociales. Il accueille également activement des événements allant des ateliers de petite envergure aux festivals et marchés.
Le Radium Boulders est maintenant une salle d'escalade moderne avec les dernières prises, des équipements d'entraînement et une atmosphère chaleureuse.
Het Radium is a vibrant outdoor space in the Sphinxkwartier district, consisting of Radiumplein, Stadsweide, Gashouder, and Gashouderplein. Het Radium has a rich rubber history, a past still visible in existing buildings, such as the 45-meter-high Radium Chimney and the LAB building. The municipal gasworks (also known as Coca-Cola) dates from an earlier era. The large, green Gashouder near Stadsweide was built in the 1950s. Thanks to the relocation of the Noorderbrug landing stage, Het Radium now occupies a prominent and easily accessible location.
Radium is a vibrant urban environment offering ample space for culture, creativity, and social interaction. It also actively hosts events ranging from small workshops to festivals and markets.
Radium Boulders is now a modern climbing gym with the latest holds, training equipment, and a welcoming atmosphere.
I took this shot on a moderately recent trip up to Seattle to visit family. As with any trip, I made a point to see a few of the local sites that I had never stopped by before, so on the list this time was Gasworks Park.
An amazing place and an amazing view.
The park itself contains the ruins of an old natural gas plant and is quite the curiosity to behold. The view across the bay to downtown Seattle was equally captivating. We had timed our trip in hopes of a nice sunset, which never really quite came to fruition. That was ok though, as I have found that twilight is the patient photographer's reward, so I set up to take a few photos as dusk settled in. It was quite a stormy night, the rain teased me with a sprinkle here and there but never really got started. What I remember the best though is the wind. It howled across the water, brought tears to my eyes, and numbed my hands to the point of uselessness. I loved it. There is something about being out in a fierce wind that I find more invigorating than any other weather.
Anyway, this shot captured a bit of what it felt like to stand there alone, in the shadows of the Gaswork ruins, with a face full of wind, watching the storm clouds and dusk settle in over the city where I was born. In other words, it was a fantastic evening.
Craft Beer Restaurant Stone Brewing im alten Gaswerk Berlin Mariendorf. Beim nächsten Mal wieder Lightpainting VOR dem Bier, ist besser. Danke an Uwe und Klaus.

The clock tower in the Gasworks area of Belfast on a rare sunny day in Ireland. It may well have more than two faces I just could not see them :)
Back at Kings Cross, Argyll & Sutherland Highlander emerges from gaswork tunnel heading fo the stabling point.
In 2012 this art installation by Belfast-born artist John Kindness was unveiled on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay in Dublin. The piece was inspired by John’s experiences and memories of the ‘gas man’. Appropriately, the work is sponsored by Bord Gais.
His “Fish” in Belfast is a favourite of mine but I do not like this installation in Dublin Docklands … to me it looks like an expensive public toilet.
shot with two speedlights. One camera left and the other camera right. bounced into umbrellas. Took this photo 3 years ago and just gave a it a little workover from the ground up using lightroom and cs6. Sometimes it's just fun to take a look and play around with old photos!
