Layerthorpe Gasometer from City Walls

Now that the leaves are off the trees you get a clear view of the gasometer in Layerthorpe from the city walls.

Reflections of the gasometer on the Foss

It is not just the gasometer in Layerthorpe reflected on the water of the River Foss , there is also the tree and the blue Unipart building.

Fossbank

Fossbank is the location of one of the Sainsbury supermarkets in York and the car park looks out over the River Foss towards the gasometer and former gas works at Layerthorpe.

Easter Snow

I got up early this morning to get some phots of the snow. This is the gasometer at Layerthorpe and this one of the ice house near Monk Bar reminds me of a Christmas pudding!

The daffodils on the city walls came out about a week ago heralding the arrival of spring and now look a little forlorn standing in the snow.

Gas Storage Tank - Layerthorpe

We have been hearing rumours for the last five years that this gas tank is going to be dismantled so I thought I had better record it just in case it does eventually get dismantled and removed. The area where the old gas works that was used to convert coal into towns gas used to be next to it and has now been built on with a block of offices and a block of flats nearing completion. Behind the wall is the track of the old railway line which used to run to the Rowntree factory. The track has been removed and a tarmac cycle and pedestrian track created.
