A few of many photographs taken from the Gasworks in Whitby. The site is filled with the most random industrial looking structures and vehicles; Large diggers, derelict boats and even a hovercraft just to name a few. The site sits between a river and a railway track presumably so barges and trains could transport coal to the gasworks in order for it to produce gas. The Gasworks is obviously out of use now as coal-gas is no longer produced in the UK. Although I have always been aware of this place i know little about it and am currently trying to gather information and old photos as a form of data. The randomness and intrigue of the site is what initially drew me into visiting.
