Victorian Gasometer (1 of 2). HFF.

A relic from the days before North-Sea Gas....the old "gasometer" at Brierfield in Lancashire, North-West England. HFF to all viewers. "This gasholder was once part of the Brierfield gas works, built during the second half of the nineteenth century by Henry Tunstill, the owner of Brierfield Mill. It was purchased by the Nelson Local Board in 1888 to meet the growing needs of the rapidly expanding town. The works have long been demolished and the only remaining element is the tall Victorian gasholder with its ornate detailing. The gas holder was constructed of cast iron and worked to produce an elegant design with slender components and ornately detailed finials. The strength provided by the material allows the gas holder to be of considerable height whilst retaining this slender form".

Entering the locks.

The locks on the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Barrowford in Pendle district, North-West England, photographed with a Nikon D300s camera and my new 17-55mm wide-angle lens. I forgot to set the aperture correctly for a greater depth-of-field (I had it set at f2.8 instead of a smaller value) but the background is still reasonably in-focus. The angle of view is equivalent to approx. 25mm on a full-frame camera.
