This belonged to the Gas Light & Coke Company which became North Thames Gas upon nationalization after the 2nd World War. The gas holder was eventually decommissioned & the site became the Central Area office of North Thames Gas where I worked between 1979 & 1995 & my association with the Cathedral began. The site was redeveloped into luxury flats which are behind Hide Tower in the recent photo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115875609078917723.post-75385159549639991132008-01-05T20:18:00.000+00:002008-01-05T20:18:00.000+00:00MI6, not MI5.
