This is Old Gasworks Lane beyond the railway bridge. The compound to the right is the site of the town gas works opened in 1875 and demolished in 1970 after natural gas had taken over. The retort houses were close to here. The brickwork behind the bush on the left is the abutment for the railway siding into the coal handling facilities
