This ‘ugly’ landmark is about to disappear from Stoke-on-trent’s skyline

ANDREW SMITH

The gasometer was a good land marker for directions over the years, and meeting place.

MARK ROWLEY

There is nothing to visit at all in Longton that’s remotely close to the gasometer, so keep it where it is

DANIEL LEESE

Waste of money. It has not bothered anyone for 63 years and now it’s getting brought down. We should have a say what our taxes get spent on.

CHRISTOPHER TALBOT

I don’t think it’s ugly – just neglected and out of use.

ANNA ANDERSON

I used to love driving past here when I was little, seeing if it had grown.

SAM MORRIS

That is not ugly. Shame nothing can be done to preserve it and show the progress of industry.
