Croydon: Gasholder
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 27 Mar 2010
This gasholder, which is of the classic type with side-running pulleys, and one other of a more modern type, are the only visible remnants of Croydon's large gas works. The gasworks, however, were not on the north side of the railway (now tram line) but on the south side, where Sainsbury's, Mothercare etc. have now been built. Just the two gasholders were north of the line.
