This sat adjacent to the Mersey Forge North Yard on Caryl Street (backing onto Grafton Street). It is almost certainly the workplace of both Samuel Williams and his nephew  Samuel Jabez Williams prior to the latter's move to Bootle Gasworks.

The site of the former gasworks has now been cleared. The level area at the back is where the two gasometers on the 1905 map would have sat. The rear wall is beautifully made from local sandstone, Grafton Street sits above the red brick capping whilst beyond, the gasometer, is on Beaufort Street.
