Actualy the gas works are not being knocked down - The two buildings are listed and have been stabilised by the developers whist the site around them is built on. The gasometers have gone and the holes dug out and filled with hardcore.

Thanls for the post. I take it these are the gas works in Hotwells? The photo on brisray.com/bristol/bhwell2.htm was taken in 2000, I've also got photo's I took of them in 1981 looking pretty much the same - roofless shells of buildings. The several times I visited these buildings there were warning notices on the fences saying the ground inside was heavily contaminated. It's nice to know that after the 30 odd years that I can remember them being derelict that someone's finally decided to do something with them. Do you know what the buildings are going to be redeveloped as? Ray
