NT 2231 7696 Prior to the redevelopment of Granton Gasworks (NMRS NT27NW 20) a programme of standing building recording and historical research was carried out in May, June and August 2001.

A standing building survey and analysis was carried out at three of the remaining early 20th-century buildings: the coal store block erected between 1898 and 1903; the workshops building erected between 1903 and 1910; and the TRANSCO control house building erected in the 1930s. A section of the stone boundary wall to the NE was also recorded.

The buildings were once part of a large complex of industrial buildings constructed in the early 20th century and designed by Walter Ralph Herring for the Edinburgh & Leith Gas Commissioners' Company. Many of Herring's original buildings on the 106? acre site have already been demolished, hence the programme of building recording aims to be a 'preservation by record' of an incomplete heritage.
