Administrative History

Gas was introduced to Falkirk by the Falkirk Gas Works Company in 1829, whose works and assets were sold in 1878 to the Falkirk Joint Stock Gas Company. In 1896 the Falkirk Gas Commissioners took over the works and supply of gas, under the Falkirk Corporation Gas Act, 1894. At nationalisation in 1949 the works became part of the Scottish Gas Board. In 1989 the works were privatised as part of the British Gas Company.
