Residents living in the shadow of a Miles Platting gas tower have taken a close look at the structure before it is demolished in the summer.
The Saxon Street gas holder will be dismantled by ‘late summer or early autumn’, the Manchester Evening News understands. When it is pulled down, it will mark the end of a 131-year-long connection between Miles Platting and the gasometer.
Before its final days, residents have been able to view the structure close-up. National Grid, which owns the structure, that’s not been used to store gas since the early 2000s, organised the visit.
