Abandoned Bathurst Gas Works
Due to complaints regarding quality of gas and cost of supply from the private 'Bathurst Gas Company', in 1888 the Bathurst Council built a competing gasworks and piped town gas to businesses, street lights, and homes.
The former Bathurst Gasworks site, on Russell Street, was operated from 1888 until 1979 in conjunction with Orange City and Lithgow Councils.
