Abstract:		 In October 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, University College London) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the three gasholders at Leven Road Gasholder Station, Leven Road, Poplar, London, E14 0LL (hereafter 'the site'; centred NGR:538672 181472). The work was commissioned by Montagu Evans LLP on behalf of National Grid, in advance of the demolition of the structures on the site as part of a scheme to remediate the site ahead of redevelopment. The former gasworks contains three gasholders of the water-sealed type. Gasholder No. 1 was the built as part of the gasworks initial phase of works in 1876-8. The gasholder is one of the earliest examples of the use of wrought-iron lattice guide standards and is a particularly early example of the use of lattice box-section middle girders, based on designs by Robert and Harry Jones. In addition, the holder utilises an early example of an entirely concrete tank without the use of puddled clay (English Heritage, 2002, 91). Gasholder No. 2 constructed in 1974, represents a typical late-20th century spiral-guided design, based on a developed design by Gadd and Mason of Manchester (1887). The redevelopment of Gasholder No. 2 represents a typical trend occurring from the 1950s onwards in which a new gasholder was constructed as a replacement of a former holder of a lesser capacity, utilising the original in-ground tank. In this case a typical 1970s spiral-guided gasholder replaced the former column-guided holder dated to 1882. Gasholder No. 3 has a construction date of 1928 and was designed by Samuel Cutler and Sons. The structure represents a typical early 20th century column-guided gasholder design. Its 'Type 37' lattice guide frame and above-ground steel tank, reflect the advancements in gasholder design throughout the 20th century. This gasholder forms the last phase of major development of the late-19th century gasworks.
