Gasholder at Biggar Gasworks Museum
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).

Steam's up, Biggar Gasworks
Occasionally the Biggar Gasworks museum has a 'steam day' on which the boiler is fired up to run some of the steam engines for powering ancillary equipment. The white building houses the main gas meter - for a closeup see Image

Biggar Gasworks Museum, Biggar - purifiers
These cast iron box purifiers were made by The Barrowfield ironworks Ltd, Glasgow and contain iron oxide powder. The gas passes through them to remove hydrogen sulphide.
Biggar Gasworks is one of three small towns gasworks that are preserved in the United Kingdom and is one of the few reminders of what was once a major industry. All the larger and more modern plants are just history and now even the gas holders are very largely being swept away.
