TQ3177 : Gasholder number 1 at The Oval
taken 3 years ago, near to Lambeth, England
Gasholder number 1 at The Oval
The famous Grade II gasholder is familiar from test matches at the Oval. This is Gasholder number 1 dating from 1892 which is Grade II Listed. The full story of the gasholders at The Oval can be seen at Link
The shape of the Oval Cricket Ground was determined by the pre-existing street pattern – not the other way around.
The gasholder is seen here from the derelict garden of the Cricketers pub. The pub next to Kennington Oval has been closed and derelict since 2002. In March 2019, planning permission was granted for demolition and construction of a new residential development with a replacement ground floor public house. See Link for the front of the pub.
