A private gas works built to serve the Leighton Park Estate.

Leighton Hall was built between 1850-56 on the site of a medieval house by the Liverpool architect W.H. Gee for John Naylor, a Liverpool banker. The private gas works were built to serve the Leighton Park Estate by W.C. Holmes of Huddersfield. The gasworks would have supplied gas to light the hall and wider estate. It consisted of a retort house, a gas holder and other buildings but only the retort house now survives.
