gasometer

The gas-holder will be missed from the landscape as it could be seen from a large area.

Watching the city go by from the hut in St John''s churchyard garden The skeletal frame of the gas-holder dominates the site e of the British Gas Grangetown works * An ornate lamppost adorns The Hayes * The pillar-box in Ninian Road, Roath Park * The water tower near Cardiff Central train station * One of a pair of navigation lamps at Bute West Dock near the Pierhead Building, Cardiff Bay, that would have helped guide ships safely into port * A relic of a more genteel age - an old-style red telephone box on the junction of Alder Road and Ninian Road, Roath Park

THUMB READY: Ruth and Ray Skuce and (inset) the gas-holder.

BP already has planning permission for one gas-holder at the Stonebridge Highway site in Coventry and has submitted an application for a second tank.
