This is all starting to sound a bit like Trigger's broom in "Only Fools and Horses". There's a campaign to save something that doesn't link to the song at all! There is no mention in the song itself of the Gasworks per se.


The Gasworks Croft has in all probability been developed and built on years ago.

It wasn't the Gasworks wall in the song at all, which is what they say they are retaining. It was some unidentified factory wall that has in all probability been knocked down ages ago.

And nobody has the remotest idea what bank of which canal anybody used to dream by.

Bit of a pointless exercise. Couldn't really care less what use they put this derelict land to but housing seems to be the priority at the moment.
