Abstract:		 Archive Research Standing Building Recording (Level 3) Measured Survey (3D Laser Survey) AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by SGN to undertake an historic building survey of the two redundant gasholders at Bell Green in Sydenham, Greater London. The two remaining gasholders on the site are Gasholder No 7, built in 1882, and Gasholder No 8 (to the north of No 7) built in 1890. Both are frame-guided ‘Type 30’ holders constructed to a design by Charles Gandon and were part of the major late 19th century expansion of the former Crystal Palace District Gasworks which originated in the 1850s. The rest of the gasholders and gasworks buildings were demolished in the early 1990s to make way for new development, including a large retail park to the east of the present gasholder compound. The two surviving gasholders at Bell Green are typical, although not early, examples of wrought iron lattice framed holders. They both have four-lift bells rising on radial rollers from inground tanks. Their construction is more or less identical (No 8 is larger than No 7 by two standards), with only a few minor differences to the overall structural framework such as to the base of the standards and the guided roller carriages. Their timber crown rest frames are typical of their construction date, although the raised linear design on the dumpling of Gasholder No 8 is unusual.
