EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Chris Redgrave showcases the iconic Gas Holder DP182680, also known as Gasholder No. 5, located in Factory Lane, Croydon, London. The image captures a unique perspective of this historical structure from the north, with an imposing electricity pylon standing tall in the background. The gas holder stands as a testament to London's industrial heritage and serves as a reminder of its rich history in power generation. Its towering presence against the urban skyline evokes a sense of awe and admiration for the engineering marvels that once powered this bustling city. The juxtaposition of the gas holder and electricity pylon symbolizes the transition between two eras of energy production - one fueled by gas and another driven by electricity. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how our sources of power have evolved over time. Chris Redgrave's expertly captured photograph not only documents this significant architectural landmark but also invites us to contemplate our reliance on various forms of energy throughout history. It encourages us to appreciate both past achievements and future possibilities in powering our cities sustainably. As we admire this stunning image, let us acknowledge Historic England's dedication to preserving such important relics that contribute immensely to our understanding and appreciation of Britain's industrial past.
