A memory of the gas industry in Macclesfield. These two gasholders were demolished in 2016. A stitch of two images in Photoshop.

Remains of the gasholders at the former Bradford gasworks site in Manchester.

Macclesfield's two gasholders, across the Bollin from Tesco, are of entirely different designs. The far one with the lattice girders is the older.

The gasworks may have gone but the gasholders continue in use at Meadowhall.
