The Oval Gasholders, Victorian gas storage structure near The Oval cricket ground, London, England
The cylindrical wrought iron frame of Gasholder No. 1 stands at 135 feet tall, featuring intricate metalwork patterns against the London skyline.
The Phoenix Gas Light and Coke Company constructed the first iron gasholder on this site in 1847 to supply gas to the area near Vauxhall Bridge.
The gasholder structure forms an integral part of cricket broadcasts from The Oval, serving as a recognizable backdrop for international cricket matches.
The redevelopment plan includes 738 new residential units, with 200 designated for affordable housing and 10,160 square meters of office space.
Sir Corbet Woodall designed the 1877 replacement structure, which became the largest gasholder in the world at that time.
