Holder No.4

Carlisle Gasworks. 

"Gasholder. 1878-9, by J Hepworth, engineer. Cast- and wrought-iron and concrete. Cylindrical rising vertical tank set in concrete pit, has had its iron-plate cladding removed leaving exposed iron ribs (done before listing). Guiding frame is of 3 tiers of 12 plain round cast-iron columns with ball and spear finials, held together by lattice girders and bracing. Previous listing regarded this as first use of concrete in north of England."


Giving it a coat (or three) of paint this year.
