  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Town gas
Prior to the development of natural gas supplies and transmission in the United States during 1940s and 1950s, virtually all fuel and lighting gas was manufactured, and the byproduct coal tars were at some times an important chemical feedstock for the chemical industries.
All gas equipment in the whole of UK was converted from burning town gas to burn natural gas (mainly methane) over the period from 1967 to 1977 at a cost of about £100 million including the writing off of redundant town gas manufacturing plants.
The process of manufacturing gas usually produced a number of by-products that contaminated the soil and groundwater in and around the manufacturing plant, so many former town gas plants are a serious environmental concern, and cleanup and remediation costs are often high.

  A Brief History of the Manufactured Gas Industry in the United States
From the superheater, the carburetted water gas was fed into a sealed wash box where the gas cooled slightly, allowing some the impurities in the form of coal tar (and associated wastes) to condense and settle out.
The gas was also passed through a scrubber, a device that brought the vapor into direct contact with water, thus removing even more impurities from the gas.
After scrubbing, the gas was moved into the relief holder, which served as a reservoir that provided a continuous gas supply to the exhauster.

 Plant Components
From their beginning in the United States, at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1816, manufactured gas companies were locally owned, generally the brainchild of a group of several leading citizens, organized under some type of charter, originally that of the State Legislature, but giving over to "franchises" issued by the city or town.
A newer above-ground gas holder lies to the right rear and an obviously older gas holder is seen to the left, probably serving as the relief holder to buffer the pressure waves associated with moving from blow cycle to run cycle, every few minutes.
As noted above, an ideal combinational mix of gas manufacturing equipment was to generate gas and coke via coal-gas machines and to employ the coke for general plant heating of boilers and gas-making furnaces, then to employ the coke also as the reactor bed for the carburetted water gas generator sets.
