OLD GAS WORKS KINGTON HEREFORD 1873
A rare and interesting watercolour depicting an industrial buildings in a some what rural setting.
The town's industrial past is tied up with the construction of the Kington Tramroad completed in 1820. It brought coal, iron, slates etc to Kington and took away lime, flour, malt and other local products. Kington then had a foundry, gas works and nail shop. The Gas works depicted here I understand were demolished and rebuilt circa 1875.
