Did you know
The 25 m-tall gasholder frame was taken apart in 2011, restored in Yorkshire and rebuilt beside the canal; the new park opened in November 2015.
Local tip
It is a free public park beside the canal, a short walk from Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard. Step inside the frame onto the lawn rather than only photographing it from outside.
