We would occasionally deliver them a wagonload of coal. That would have been late1950's/early 1960's.

Changeover from coal gas to natural gas occurred mid 1960's, so production would have ceased then. I think the gasometer remained active beyond this date, I guess it had become a storage site, but I do not know for how long that had continued.
