gone but not forgotten
Those old gas holders, were large, smelly, dirty, very necessary, but wonderful looking installations, usually built in pairs, many with in built Victorian design and architecture as a prominent feature of the holder.
Probably the most famous is the gasholder at the London, Oval cricket ground, but here in Norwich they have preserved one very fine holder.
My question is: Have any gasholders been preserved in Birmingham? I recall seeing many of them in my youth, but cannot remember where, in Birmingham.
I would hope that someone has saved photographs of these installations.
