The original gasholder was removed from the first building in 1919.

The great gasometer, or gasholder, call it what you will.

The second and older spiral guided gasholder was removed some years ago.

The seal pots are designed to maintain the pressure with the gasholder.

The gas given off was purified and stored in the familiar gasholder, ready for use.

The twin gasholder towers are expected to remain in use for the foreseeable future.

Allow air to be displaced from the inside of the gasholder as the piston rises.

To ensure that the gasholder is safe during electrical storms etc.

Allows air to enter and exit the gasholder as the storage volume changes.

Allows access down to the piston fender when the gasholder is full.

Provides a way to withstand the wind, and the forces on the thinner iron gasholder.

In the 1930s the gasholder was removed and sold as scrap metal.

The gas would then be ready for distribution, and pass into a gasholder for storage.

Allow condensates within the gasholder gas space to drain away in seal pots.

Throughout the winter months, Sheepscar is notable for its large gasholder.

It presumably went onto the top when the gasholder was low, and was trapped as the level rose.

The big Gasholder was built in 1902.

There are two basic types of gasholder, rigid waterless and telescoping.

Used for maintenance access into the gas space - only used whilst the gasholder is out of service.

During commissioning of the gasholder the sealing membrane is set into an operating condition.

The Troy gasholder pressure was 4 inches.

Doors located at pertinent points allowing access into the gasholder from the external staircase tower.

Essential fail-safe system to protect the gasholder from over-pressurisation.

The gas then passed on to the gasholder and the iron sulfide was sold to extract the sulfur.

A gasholder house provided a number of advantages:
