London King’s Cross (#1076)

London King’s Cross (#1076)
From the train to Folkestone, taken right after we came out of King’s Cross station. Pictured here are condominiums built within historic gasholder frames, per the ‘gasholders’ link, the frames were built between 1860 and 1880; the only historic picture that I could find of a gasholder when it was used for storing gas is on the Wikepedia page. Per the KnightFrank page, these units are selling for £825,000 - £7,000,000 ($1M to $9.2M). Here’s a photo of them taken from the other side, in 2017, when the prices were lower: www.flickr.com/photos/donbrr/27414933949
