Demolition of gas holder in progress
Located in Rome Street. A photo of the gas holder in its expanded state can be seen here Image .
Gas holders were originally built to store locally produced coal gas - this one dates from 1928 (News & Star 05.10.18 http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/16967619.landmark-gasometer-demolished-in-carlisle/ ). Later they were used to store natural gas for times of peak demand, such as early evenings and cold weather. Advances in technology have increased the efficiency of the modern-day gas network, so these storage facilities have become redundant.
The framework of a Victorian gas holder on the other side of Rome Street (photo here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/856391 ) will remain, because it is a listed building.

There's a big hole in the gas holder
The structure is being demolished because the storage facility is no longer needed for today's efficient gas network.
Another hole can be seen on the far side of the gas holder. These were cut to allow access to the water tank in the bottom of the structure, which needed to be drained before demolition could proceed (note the two lifebuoys).

Household Waste Recycling Centre, Bousteads Grassing
Previously known as The Tip. In the hut a man with a stripy leg keeps watch, to make sure no trade waste enters the site. Ordinary householders who wish to transport their rubbish in a van or trailer, or on foot, must obtain a permit. Carlisle residents are currently sending more than 50% of household waste for recycling, mainly by kerbside collection.
