Libro para descarga en pdf “A History of the Gas Industry in Birmingham”

 

Nationalgrid. We recognise that gasholders are a part of our industrial heritage and undertake historical recording at all our gasholder sites, including Windsor Street. The current Windsor Street site has been associated with the gas industry since the 1880s when it was acquired by the Birmingham Corporation to enable the extension of the Windsor Street Gasworks. The gasworks once housed 11 gasholders and when the twin gasholders were built in 1885, they were the largest in the world. By 1928 the gasworks had become the largest gasworks owned by the Birmingham Corporation, occupying an area of 26 acres, and it remained in operation until the late 1980s.



As the Windsor Street gasholders are the last in Birmingham, we have commissioned Professor Russell Thomas to produce a booklet on the history of the gas industry in Birmingham.
