The Oval Gasholders
The Oval Gasholders is the unofficial name given to the gas holder (gasometer) located near The Oval in London, England. It was first built in 1853 and is officially called Kennington Holder Station by its owners, Southern Gas Network.
== History ==
The gas holders were built in 1853 and overlook The Oval at the Vauxhall End of the ground. They are considered part of the background of The Oval despite being newer than The Oval, which was established in 1846. During England cricket team matches advertising banners hang from the gas holders. They are regularly referred to in Test Match Special broadcasts.
In 2008 Surrey County Cricket Club, tenants of The Oval, announced plans to redevelop it along the side nearest the gas holders. However, their redevelopment plans were objected to by the Health and Safety Executive because of the proximity to the gas holders and amid fears that they might explode despite not cracking or leaking since construction. This view was supported by London Fire Brigade, who listed the gas holders as a hazardous site.〔 As a result, Surrey considered buying the gas holders and decommissioning them. The objection of the Health and Safety Executive was rejected by the Secretary of State and planning inspector.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hse.gov.uk/landuseplanning/ovalcricket.htm )〕
