Well, this is the plan of the site courtesy of the National Grid Gas Archives, via Janwhin.

I was going to say in one of the posts above with the woodcuts showing the operation of gas works equipment, that they must have had a lot of waste hot water from the plant.
I bet it was utilised on the Amble site to heat that vinery.
Now I have an allotment on the west site, just a hundred yards away, and when I inherited the plot the 'greenhouse' on it had an ancient grape vine in it. I wonder if it came from down there on the Gas works site??? Hey, you never know, allotmenteers are renowned for their 'salvage' and recycling skills.
