| The Pocklington New Gas Co., Limited, which was formed in 1886, with a capital of £8,000, in £10 shares, and purchased the rights of the existing company. New works were erected near the railway station, and fitted with the latest and most approved appliances. There was one gasholder, with a capacity of 30,000 cubic feet, which supplied the town, and also Barmby Moor and Allerthorpe. The streets were lighted by 80 lamps in 1892 when the gas was retailed at 4s. 2d. per 1,000 cubic feet. |
