DUNDEE GASWORKS, North side of East Dock Street: The gasworks took made-up ground between what was the shore and the escarpment that

carries Broughty Ferry Road. This land was taken by some of the more noxious industries, and remains are fragmentary, e.g. the abattoir, which

once sported carved animals. The main gasworks has been cleared of most structures except one large postwar spiral-guided gas holder and some brick buildings with arched windows.

M Watson, 2013
