Description
An enhanced Level 1 building survey was undertaken by MOLA at Grays Gas Holder Station, London Road, Grays, Essex, prior to the demolition of three gas holders on the site. The first phase of on-site survey took place in August 2014 and was carried out by MOLA. The second phase of survey was carried out by the demolition contractor and was comprised of photographs of the gas holders as they were being dismantled. A manufacturer's plate on Gas Holder No. 2 is dated 1928 and was earliest recorded on the site, built for the Grays and Tilbury Gas Co Ltd, who had been manufacturing gas on a site to the south of London Road since the mid-19th century.
