The now sadly demolished Canterbury Gas Holder. Can't find much about the History I'm afraid although I did hear from a friend that it was demolished to prevent it gaining listed status.
It's a shame to have seen it disappear from Canterbury's skyline.
I was lucky enough to spot the great report by a user on another forum that showed internals of the gas holder and described the preparations for demolition taking place, that allowed me to get in a few more times before they started taking it down and see the inside of it! My internal shots turned out pretty grim because of using a relatively dim torch in such a large space.

The local carpet shop had a skip full of thick carpet just around the corner but live and learn I suppose,
A decent view of the "city" and the cathedral,
