Historic England’s latest industrial heritage publication, produced in partnership with Liverpool University Press and National Grid, is ‘Gas Holders – A History in Pictures’ – https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/gasholders-history-in-pictures/.
Using a combination of archive and contemporary photographs, engineering drawings, prints, paintings, adverts and diagrams, it looks at the history and evolution of gas holders, engineers and manufacturers, their place in society and impact on the English landscape. The final chapter considers the future redevelopment of these sites, including those where gas holders are being successfully re-purposed’.
