The last significant parts of the gasworks off Wateringpool Lane have been removed. Two large gas holding tanks stood in this location for many years. In August 2015 planning permission was given for the building of 280 homes on the former gasworks site: https://web.archive.org/web/20151229180207/http://www.leylandguardian.co.uk/news/local/former-gasworks-site-gets-the-go-ahead-for-280-new-homes-1-7411180
