No. 7 Gas Holder - Battersea
October 2013
Built in the 1930's this Gasholder is situated on a 5 acre site with 3 other gasholders, they were originally built to store gas made from coal at a local gasworks, located mostly on what is now New Covent Garden Market and a former Royal Mail depot. With the discovery of North Sea gas, the gasworks became redundant and closed in 1970. The gasholders have since been used to store natural gas but were decommissioned in 2012.
This Gas Holder has since been demolished.
