Great Pictures kiko!

It's good to see so many of the lovely surroundings and architecture.

This is a Gasworks. We had at least one of them in Dublin too, which is now turned into a trendy appartment block (with the frame still intact, forming the outer wall.

As I understand it, that frame used to hold a giant tank that gas - to supply the street lights and houses - was stored in. When the tank was full, it was lighter than air, and so would raise up inside the frame, and as it emptied it would lower back down again.
