NZ3946 : 50p for the meter anybody?
taken 37 years ago, near to Murton, County Durham, England

50p for the meter anybody?
Not your usual domestic prepayment gas meter! A W C Holmes "Connersville" meter. Effectively a Roots blower in reverse with the gas flow turning the rotors and driving a precise metering mechanism. This was at the now demolished Hawthorn Coking Works, Murton.
