Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The underlying geology is understood to consist of London Clay. Preparatory work in the form of made ground deposits to stabilise the ground ahead of the construction of the gasworks structures were observed in geotechnical test pits. The earliest brickwork encountered related to the earlier phases of the gasworks (mid 1830's), in particular a fragment of Gasholder 13 which was also observed within a test pit, along with a culvert further to the west. Following this the remains of a basemented extension to the Retort House and the footings of the Purification Plant were revealed; the latter presenting the remains of structures relating to the scrubbers, condensers and purifiers, datable to the mid 19th century. The remains of a section of Crushing House, constructed in the mid-late 19th century, were also exposed and recorded. Aside from some evidence of minor additions and modifications to the above buildings, little changed until the gasworks itself was decommissioned and demolished in the early 20th century. The foundations of a stable building, completed by 1917, upon the footings of a part of the Purification Plant, were also observed. Modern made ground along with service runs and concrete surfaces overlay the above structures.
