The two roofless buildings are left the West Purifier House and right the engine house with chimney. They date from 1840 and are a very early survival of gasworks buildings and are Listed Grade II. After lying derelict for decades with plenty of to-ing and fro-ing about their future, a scheme to create 56 residences in and around the old shells finally gained planning approval in April 2017.
