Default Re: Strange construction in Brisbane

This is the listed Carlisle gasometer, just behind my Aunts old house. It was part of the coking plant, and in the old days the fumes were acrid! The tanks are gone, but when it worked the concertina tanks rose higher as they filled with gas, with a slow clanking noise as they crept up the framework on wheels.

Some of the decorative framework is quite fantastic.
