Gas Holders Demolition

Jim Davis and Jo Hayward

Available for over a year

Two of Leicester's largest landmarks are being demolished in the next few months. They're the two gas holders behind the old Victorian gas works on Aylestone Road, one built in 1930, the other in 1960 before the Second world War. National Grid wants to pull them down to pave the way for redevelopment, but not everyone's welcoming that idea. Âé¶¹Éç Radio Leicester's Bridget Blair has been down to the site to look at the huge cylindrical structures while she still can.
