Work to dismantle three gasholders at Windsor Street in Birmingham gets underway next week and National Grid is asking for help to solve the mystery of how the gasholders came to be painted in the Aston Villa Football Club colours.
National Grid is dismantling the gasholders as they are no longer used to store gas because improvements to the national gas network means gas can now be stored in the pipe system underground.
The three gasholders at our Windsor Street site were last in use in 2012, as improvements to the gas transmission system means gas can now be stored in the pipe system underground.
Dismantling the gasholders is the first step to bringing the site back into beneficial use. The work, by specialist contractor DSM, is expected to be completed in 2022.
