A small access cover marked 'Gas' located on Manse Road in Bangor. It almost certainly dates from when the town gas was produced and supplied in Bangor - this ended c1987. The cover was cast by Hattersley and Davidson of Sheffield. This engineering company was established in 1894; the company still trades today as Hd Sports Ltd. http://www.hdsports.co.uk/hdsports-history.html but specialises in ice skating blades.
