EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative photograph, taken by Paul Barkshire on 24th October 1981, captures the industrial beauty and historical significance of the gas holders at Goods Way in Kings Cross, London. The image showcases a unique blend of urban architecture and industrial heritage, with the premises of Baldwins Covent Garden in the foreground and the iconic gas holders towering behind. The Baldwins Covent Garden building, with its red brick facade and large windows, stands proudly at the forefront of the scene, a testament to the area's rich history as a hub for commerce and trade. However, the true focus of the photograph is the line of gas holders that dominate the background. Their skeletal structures, each one a rusted and weathered testament to the passage of time, stand tall against the grey London sky. Gas holders were an essential part of the urban landscape in the early 20th century, providing storage for the gas that lit the streets and homes of London. This photograph captures them in their final days before being decommissioned and eventually demolished. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the industrial past of Kings Cross and the role that gas played in the city's development. Paul Barkshire's photograph is a valuable addition to Historic England's collection, offering a unique perspective on the history and evolution of this vibrant and dynamic area of London. The image invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the beauty of industrial heritage, and consider the changes that have shaped the city we know today.
