About this product

Product Information

Many of London's original power stations have either been demolished, converted for other use, or stand derelict awaiting redevelopment that is seemingly always just out of reach. However, in their prime these mighty 'cathedrals of power' played a vital role in London's journey towards becoming the world's most important city. Gasworks also played a key role, built in the Victorian era to manufacture gas for industry and the people, before later falling out of favour once natural gas was discovered in the North Sea. London's Lost Power Stations and Gasworks looks at the history of these great places. Famous sites that are still standing today, such as those at Battersea and Bankside (now the Tate Modern gallery), are covered in detail, but so are the previously untold stories of long-demolished and forgotten sites. Appealing to anyone with even the slightest interest in London, derelict buildings or urban exploring, this book uses London's power supply as the starting point for a fascinating hidden history of Britain's capital, and of the more general development of cities from the era of industrialisation to the present day.

  • I quickly pencilled so many corrections as to throw doubt on anything.

    I wanted facts about old power stations and gas works in the capital. But the authur exhibits a lack of interest and basic technical knowledge, his focus being present day use of buildings and relics, and the companies and individuals who originally erected them. Littered with so many errors I soon gave up correcting them as nothing can really be trusted. Examples:- Immigrants from Bangladesh in Victorian London. Trucks delivering coal before 1830.Tube trains are electric because Metropolitan steam trains bellowed sulphur and CO2 (reality is tube tunnels are smaller and deeper). Becton gas works had its own railway sidings (in reality it had the largest industrial railway in the world) etc etc etc
