Gas Light & Coke Company - 25 March 2023

Located on the Great Peter Street face of the Defra office (which actually has a Marsham Street address), a plaque commemorates the Gas Light & Coke Company. If the Wikipedia entry is correct, the dates on the plaque could be queried. The company appears to have been incorporated in 1812 and become defunct only in 1949. The Peter Street gasworks lasted only until 1875.

Another bit of jolly but inaccurate geotagging from Flickr. Certainly near Westminster Abbey but we can safely say that building pre-dated the gasworks.
