This single lift externally guided holder with a triangular guide frame is obviously being held in the raised position as it will no longer be holding gas. The one at the Fakenham Gasworks Museum is actually normally in the down position and is 'blown up' by the exhauster on open days. This is seen through the gates of the closed museum (I was out of season).
