Building record TQ 55 NW 614 - Building, Hartslands Road, Sevenoaks

This wall was originally the boundary wall of the gasworks which existed on the site from 1837 to 1862 when gas production was moved to Cramptons Road. Subsequently other commercial buildings were erected on the site, but the boundary wall remained in its original position. The wall is of coursed ragstone with yellow brick pillars and appears to have been built in different stages, in opposition to the slope of the road. The foundation stage is about 2 feet high rising to 4 feet, though this may indicate a change in the level of the road. There is then a string course and the rest of the wall is built to about seven feet, with a flat capping. (1)
