Geschiedenis
The North Thames Gas Board (1949-1973) was one of 12 Area Boards formed when the gas industry was nationalised in 1949, following the passing of the 1948 Gas Bill. It supplied an area of 1,059 square miles stretching from Bracknell, Marlow and High Wycombe to the south east coast of Essex.
When formed it was made up of a merger of 12 statutory gas undertakings:
Ascot and District Gas and Electricity Company,
Chertsey Gas Consumers Company;
Commercial Gas Company;
(Chartered) Gas Light and Coke Company;
Hornsey Gas Company;
Lea Bridge District Gas Company;
North Middlesex Gas Company;
Romford Gas Company;
Slough Gas and Coke Company;
Southend Corporation (Shoeburyness);
Uxbridge Gas Consumers Company and
Windsor Royal Gas Light Company.
The North Thames Gas Board was dissolved in 1973 when it became a region of the British Gas Corporation.
