Gasometer in Gt Yarmouth.

I have posted some shots of this up before but accidentally deleted them from my Photobucket Der!... Built in 1884 it dwarfs the industrial South Quay area of Gt Yarmouth....Dont you just love all that rusting Cast Ironwork! The Victorians took such pride in their workmanship, a far cry from today.. You would not get me up there in a hurry, no siree! I woudl rather drink boiling water!! This shot made my legs wobble and turn to jelly......

Nice, Shuck!!
I like the bare-ness of it
Swapsies are needed I feel - Factory versus that beauty!!

OOOooh I just luuurrve all that Cast Iron work Mimble. I have a real interest in Victorian Metalwork especially these and Railway stations! Bring on the Factory I say!!!!.

The gasometers in Bath ain't as ornate as these but the council in their wisdom have listed them so they hopefully will be preserved.Just love that Victorian iron work, good pictures

Thanks James they are very high mate and your bloody welcome to them.

Great to see these pics again, especially the sillouettes...just shows how elegant it is, despite it's original usage. Neat.

Oooo, I bet you'd get a lovely view from the top.

Fantastic work.

I never realised how old some of them were.

How high up was that basket ball?

Thanks Potter.

Gas Holder.
