Ponders End: Gasworks
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 26 Apr 2007
This is one of three gasometers on the Woodall Road gas works site, and they are each large enough to justify being shown individually on the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping. The 1882 Ordnance Survey map shows a gasworks and a single gasometer more or less in this same location, but nearer the railway.
