Familiar landmarks as one enters Glasgow from the east. Built 1900-4, each is 85.4 m diam., with a combined storage capacity of 566000 m3. Surprisingly, they were not 'listed' as of historical interest, but have since been listed Category B, though not without controversy - see https://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/row-over-historic-protection-for-eyesore-gasworks-1-4742730. Thanks to James Yardley for that information.
