Abstract:		 The archaeological watching brief undertaken within Zone B1 comprised the monitoring of ground reduction works and the excavation of 22 trenches/test pits undertaken for geotechnical purposes. The archaeological methodology was designed so as to facilitate archaeological recording in a manner safe for site staff considering the known contamination issues present on site. 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 gaswork structures were observed in various areas across the site. Subsequently some the remains of the earliest set of 6 gasholders were encountering during the watching brief, namely Gasholders 2, 3 and 7 which date to the c. 1822-26. A later phase of enlargement between 1834-49 is represented by the presence of Gasholders 1,
