St Albans: The King Offa
Just what King Offa would have thought of the fact that a neighbourhood pub in Wallingford Walk on the Cottonmill estate was named after him will unfortunately have to remain a matter of conjecture. That said he did found St Albans Abbey in the 790s shortly before his death in 796.

St Albans: Griffiths Way gasometers
From old Ordnance Survey maps it is evident that the site of the St Albans gas works was once much larger, stretching down to Stephen's Hill, and having its own dedicated railway siding, more or less on the site where Sainsbury's is now. These two holders are all that remains but they are large enough to warrant being individually represented on the current Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping.
