Maker's plate from No.18 gas holder at Great Harwood Gasworks, by Robert Dempster & Sons Ltd, Blackburn, 1953-4
Every gas holder had a maker. Often these were local engineering firms, who displayed their names and logos (or crests) onto the sides of the holders. Gas holders also strongly signify an area, so place names are reminders of the situating of old gas works
