Abstract
Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by Montagu Evans LLP on behalf of National Grid
to create an historic building record of the surviving gasholder and four ancillary buildings
at the former gasworks at Pocket Nook Street, St Helens, Merseyside, before and during
the dismantling of the gasholder. Gasholder 5 was an above-ground spiral-guided
gasholder with four lifts, constructed in 1946. The project has also included research on
the history of the site. This forms part of a national programme of recording these
distinctive structures which have formed familiar landmarks in towns and cities
throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries. The archive record that is being
produced will allow comparison between different sites.
