Industrial Skeletons Of London Illustrated Poster

London Skyline: An illustration of the Industrial Skeletons of Hackney

*

In the 200 years that the UK has been using gas power, the country has got used to the distinctive sight of "gasometers".These gas holders have stored coal gas and later natural gas for the UK's urban areas, but now all but a handful are obsolete and at a risk of demolition.

Although defunct, they continue to play a part in British culture. For artists they have a dystopian edge and making for gritty backdrops.

As well as the uniqueness of their outline, the gas holders are a testament to Britain's role in creating the Industrial Revolution.
