User:Rome Street Depot Carlisle

Rome Street Depot, Carlisle, Cumbria is situated in the North of England and is home to the Victorian Gasometer (holder) dating from 1878, built by J. Hepworth.

The shell of the former Gasometer dominates the surrounding area and used to be part of the former Carlisle Gas Works.

The area being steeped in history is now home to council depots, self storage businesses and leisure facilities in what was in its day, a 5 acre gas facility serving the needs of Carlisle's gas supply at the height of the industrial revolution.

The shell of the gasometer, now a listed structure, as it towers over the City, now a relic of the industrial revolution as gas holders are now deemed obsolete.
