The only complete Victorian Gasworks in Ireland, Carrickfergus Gasworks has the largest surviving set of horizontal retorts in Western Europe. Built in 1855, it initially produced gas to light up the town's streets. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that gas for domestic purposes was produced. You can see the sights and hear the sounds of our industrial past on a visit to this museum. Educational packs are available for school visits and group bookings are welcome.
