Gasometers At King's Cross
Published by smfoto on Thursday, 24 May 2007 at 02:25As featured in The Ladykillers (original version). Note that the uprights actually have the form of classical columns. The future of the listed gas holders, which monopolise the King's Cross skyline behind the station, remains uncertain but the majority of those consulted want the holders to be dismantled and the area re-built as either a residential site or a new set of office blocks. However, it is likely that the gasometer 'triplets' - designed and built between 1879 and 1881 for the Gas, Light and Coke Company - will be preserved and resited.
