Administrative / biographical background:

The Independent Gas Light & Coke Co. was formed by Deed of Settlement in 1824 by ex-officers of the Gas Light & Coke Co. Messers Laing, Hinde and Hartley. The works were situated on Albert and Laburnum Streets, Shoreditch, near the Regents Canal. The works were of interest as all their mains were overhead. There were originally four holders, later replaced with one large one. The Gas Light & Coke Co. took over the company in 1876 and closed the works in 1900 after which the site was cleared and stove and meter workshops erected.
