Abstract:		 In March 2016 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the gasholder station in Bethnal Green, London (NGR: 534613 183410). The work was commissioned by Montagu Evans LLP on behalf of National Grid, in advance of the redevelopment of the site. The site occupies an area of land measuring c. 1.86ha. The site is located east of Marian Place in Bethnal Green, London, E2 9AX. The gasholder compound comprises four large gasholders: No. 2 to the north (built in 1866), with No. 5 to its east (built in 1889), No. 1 to the south-east (rebuilt in 1925), and No. 4 to the south-west (rebuilt in 1931). Gasholder No. 2 reflects one of the earliest surviving examples of a double-order two-tier gasholder, designed by Joseph Clark. Despite alterations to the columns the holder retains much of its character and grandeur - albeit lessened by its proximity to the might of Gasholder No. 4. Gasholder No. 4 is the most dominant feature on the site, and present in the skyline from the canal, train line, and nearby streets. The holder was the largest constructed at the time by the Gas Light and Coke Company. The holder is one in a series designed by George Trewby, the first example in fact of such a construction technique being used to such a scale (the first four being diminutive builds at St. Pancras). The two spiral-guided gasholders (Gasholders No. 1 and No. 4) represent fairly typical examples of 20th-century water-sealed spiral-guided design, based on a developed design by Gadd and Mason of Manchester (1887).
