Gas Worker's Cottages

Aylestone Road Gas Works and Gas Museum - Story of Leicester

The Gas Works operated 24 hours a day and so the workers needed to live close by. Leicester Corporation built 201-247 Aylestone Road for the gas workers in 1878. The 24, three-storey houses were the first council houses in Leicester.

One of my school mates worked at the gas as an area manager and he got to live in one of those houses simply because of that.
