Gas Holder Tower demolition underway in Northampton


Last month dismantling work began on the gas holder tower located on Tanner Street, Northampton, which formed part of the St Peters Way works. The tower was used to turn coal into gas, and while it hasn't been in use since the 60s, the large structure has remained in place.

There's actually two such gas holder towers on the site, and both are set to be gone before we celebrate Christmas this year. It will certainly open up the view for those passing by or living locally, but not for long as a new office construction is planned.
