"Gasometer, erected in 3rd quarter of C19. Riveted gas-holder rises vertically on rails afixed to the inner faces of six equidistantly spaced cast-iron columns. Each column is topped by an openwork iron box which has a cornice with a ball and spike finial above; these boxes are linked together by single bands of iron trellis-work with rosette decoration."

hearsay:-  
I could not see any sign of the gas works last time I looked: 17.2.2015. The site is a ?builder's yard. None of the site's present contents would seem to have necessitated the removal of the listed gas works construction.
