NHER 55530 (Building record) - Cremorne Lane Gas Works

This land was bought for the expansion of the gas production industry in Norwich as early as 1919. However building on the site did not occur until 1961. It uses liquid feedstock and hydrocarbon feedstock to produce lighting gas.

March-April 2015. Building Survey.
Level 2 survey of Cremorne Lane Gas Holder Station ahead of proposed redevelopment of site.
At the time of the survey the surviving structures comprised a single gasholder, a series of operational and non-operational ancillary buildings, access routes and open storage areas. The gasholder was constructed in 1958 by Dempster and Sons and represents a typical mid-20th-century low-pressure, water-sealed holder. It is based on a British spiral-guided design patented in 1887 by Gadd and Mason of Manchester. Separate associated ancillary structures included an electrical switch room and a storeroom both located to the east of the gas holder.
See report (S2) for further details and a range of photographs taken during the survey [1].
