Alongside a multi-lift spiral guided gas holder that I believe is decommissioned. The nearest building is the booster and governor house that maintained and controlled the gas main pressure on the outlet side of the holder. The back left building is the boiler house that would have prevented the water seal freezing and the back right building is the switch room. Surprisingly, there are no contact/emergency numbers on the gates to the site.
