Going Going Gone

Even though this is not one of our normal updates about our adventures we thought it was worth a short write up about the dismantling of the gasometer’s on Spa road.The site at Gas Street became the main gas making works in Bolton. In 1886 a major reconstruction took place at the works, and the land adjoining was acquired in to expand. Up until 1926 work was taking place to develop and improve the site at Gas Street, which supplied gas across Bolton.

The gasometer’s were decommissioned in 2013 and now early in 2015 they have started to be demolished, as these have been a landmark for nearly 100 years we thought they deserved a mention in one of our blog with a time line of photos.
