I used to live in Beckton prefab estate as a kid in the 60s, so great to see this. My uncle, Jimmy Dennis worked at the gasworks at the time and my great granddad was working there in the early 1900s.
Thanks for this - my late Father worked here, so it was great to find this film clip. I've sent a message to ask if you have any film that might include a steam roller being used on site at Beckton Gasworks - my Dad used to drive one!
Ya know the loco at 0:07 is actually for sale! On this site named Preston services though it costs like A gazillion pounds(not british so idk how it would cost in dollars)
