The site of the former town gasworks, which operated from 1857 until closure in 1969.


The site has been extensively modified and rebuilt. 


The grid reference provided is centred on the former site of the gasometer, which is readily identifiable on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large scale mapping surveyed in 1867.  The same map suggests a complex comprising two rows of buildings, one to the south on a site now occupied by a dwelling, and a group to the north now occupied by workshops.
