A London photo every day. Some pictures will be there for their own sake, some because they are places you may like to see, all because they are part of what makes London what it is. Requests welcome!

Stratford Past & Present - the Gasometers
These Gasometers are now unused but listed, I recommend reading Diamond Geezer on the subject. Gas used to be stored in the massive tanks which would rise and fall with usage. Sunday afternoons, you could watch them drop.
Victorian excess even on this!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're listed. We had at least one in Vancouver but it's long gone.
