A redundant 1960s gasholder in Great Yarmouth will be dismantled by spring.
The 1960's built gasholder on Admiralty Road has been de-watered, and workers are mobilising to begin tearing down the redundant structure.
The gasholder will taken apart gradually, and it is reported that the structure will be down by springtime.
The neighbouring Grade II-listed Victorian gasometer will not be included in the dismantling process.
A spokesperson for National Grid said: "We can confirm that de-watering of the 1960s gasholder is pretty much completed, and our specialist partner Erith Group is currently fully mobilising to the site before dismantling work begins.
"The gasholder will be dismantled in stages and we expect work to be finished in spring of this year."
Plans for the dismantling of the 1960s structure were put forward last March. At the time, the National Grid said security and maintenance costs for the gasholder - which is no longer needed - means it should be pulled down to make way for unspecified redevelopment.
In March last year, the Victorian gasometer featured prominently in a photography exhibition which focused on the UK's industrial heritage.
