Reference
  • L.B. Hammersmith & Fulham Conservation Area No 6 Imperial Square & Gasworks Character Profile (Approved 8th March 2005); pages 10, Para 5.24 stated that: 'Immediately opposite the Chief Engineer’s Office, on the south west side of Sands End Lane, is the Grade II listed red brown brick and Portland stone 1927 research laboratory..'; Page 11, Para 5.28 stated that: 'There are two war memorial plinths opposite the 1927 research laboratory building. The original one is Grade II listed and bears two bronze plaques commemorating the dead of WWI & WWII. A second plinth erected in 1999 bears a WWII plaque removed from a now demolished building within the gasworks site. It is unusual that the WWII plaque contains more names than that recording the dead of WWI'. www.lbhf.gov.uk/sites/default/files/section_attachments/imperial_square_and_gasworks_conservation_area_profile.pdf
