Coal Drops Yard and the Granary

The Eastern Coal Drops were built in 1851–52, probably by Lewis Cubitt, in multi-coloured stock brick over a framework of cast-iron columns and beams; the northern coal-handling bays were damaged by fire in 1985 (NHLE 1379214). The Granary is by Lewis Cubitt, 1851–52, of six storeys, with a symmetrical nine-bay south front, four projecting hoist bays and 46 cast-iron columns to each floor (NHLE 1379215). Gasholder No. 8, Grade II listed, NHLE 1423467, is a guide frame of 1883 by the engineer John Clark; it was moved about 300m from the St Pancras gasworks, dismantled around 2001, restored by Shepley Engineers and re-erected around a park in 2014. The Triplet — Gasholder Nos 10, 11 and 12, Grade II listed, NHLE 1464325 — is three conjoined guide frames of 1879–80, each about 33m high, of 15 columns and 40.8m diameter, 16 columns and 44.3m, and 13 columns and 32.3m; the columns run Tuscan, Doric then simplified Corinthian from bottom to top, and the frames were re-erected around apartment blocks in 2018. The St Pancras gasworks stayed active until 1904. The steam locomotive water point, NHLE 1113023, and the canal-side lock keeper's cottage and former pumping house, NHLE 1272512, are both Grade II listed. The site lies in the Regent's Canal Conservation Area, designated by Camden as local planning authority, which carries no list entry number.
