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.

The book arrived well packed get & I pristine condition at a good price. I would have liked it by 1st class post & I contacted this Seller via EBAY 'CONTACT' but got NO RESPONSE via either my email account or on ebay and certainly not in my Spam folder...SO what can you say I was inconvenienced a bit but got a positive outcome? I think they're reliable for transactions but something is remiss with electronic communication via EBAY or perhaps not tech savvy or disinterested or unwell etc..

As usual with this seller, the book was exactly as described and very well packed. However, delivery times can vary significantly. This was one of 4 books ordered at the same time. Two arrived in about a week, but this one took almost 3 weeks. A reliable seller who answers questions promptly, but could improve on dispatch times.

I keep coming back to this seller to buy my books if they have what I want in stock, as they are always in beautiful mint condition, packaged well, and arrive earlier than listed. Brilliant and prompt communication too. Thanks again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 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
