Tim Lewis Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) it's actually St Pancras Lock 🙂 It looks a bit different today, the gasometers in the distance were relocated to other side of the canal and flats and a park built inside them. The gas works site is now a massive redevelopment site mainly of offices including the humungous new Google building currently under construction. The lock cottage was recently sold for £800k Edited February 21, 2022 by Tim Lewis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 And the nearside lock is no longer usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark99 Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Tim is right, St Pancras. Even the gas holder station was know as St Pancras site. I just always call the collective area Kings Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuthound Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Back in the mid 70's I used to work in the King's Cross area. I used to park my car, free of charge, on waste land near the gasometers. Then in 2010 I was fitting out a data centre in the area. Moving the gasometers certainly had me confused for a while. In fact the area by the canal was almost unrecognisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Lewis Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 If 2010 was the last time you visited you will hardly recognise it again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
