The History of the Gas Industry in Berkshire Online Talk

with Jo Alexander Jones

From the 1820s, gas technology was being adopted as a lighting, and latterly heating and cooking, resource.  This talk looks at the growth of the gas industry in Berkshire, using the Reading Gas Company as an example of how the industry developed, the locations it used, and the impact that gas had on the area’s population.

Pre-booking is required, because the event link will be sent in advance.
