	Gas Works P 1152 x 864 213K	This wall and its Scottish Baronial style ornamental turret on the north side of the gas works is festooned with razor wire to keep intruders out.
	Gas Works Q 1152 x 864 252K	A closer view of the two remaining towers, with the west one visible through the skeleton of the central one.
	Gas Works R 1152 x 864 222K	A variation on the above picture. Closer, but with a shorter focal length.
	Gas Works T 1152 x 864 308K	Much closer up now and the skeleton framework slices the sky into segments. The size of the railing round the top catwalk gives an indication of the scale of this, the smallest gasometer of three.
	Gas Works W 648 x 864 192K	Only yards away now, but separated by a stone wall with a barbed wire fence on top. This vertical shot shows more details of the metal frame.
	Gas Works Y 1152 x 864 295K	A similar shot to Gas Works T but showing all of the tower's skeleton.
	GasWorks B 648 x 864 152K	Rotundity is the obvious theme in this shot. The west tower still has its metal cladding and is almost as tall as the east tower used to be. Some old car tyres have been dumped here, next to the concreted-in pipe sections used to block the road.
