@TimBryars @LondonGasketeer @HistoricEngland Totally deserved 👏👍

@TimBryars @DCMS @WalkerMarcus @SimonCallow @LondonGasketeer Brilliant news for the William Sugg company who made so many of these lamps from their Westminster factory founded in 1837, moving to Crawley in 1970, where Sugg Lighting continued the story from the 3-day week where a new impulse to make gas lights kept businesses going.

@TimBryars @LondonGasketeer @thevicsoc @hbap1924 William Sugg, whose company made most of these lamps would be thrilled that they are getting the preservation they deserve!

@RueYvesKlein @TimBryars @LondonGasketeer @plynmistr @CityWestminster I fear that there are no longer any gas lamps in Paris.

[Christopher Sugg @gaslightingman]

@disruptiveptns @CityWestminster @LondonGasketeer @TimBryars So far as I know all the gas lamps used in the Mary Poppins film were supplied by Sugg Lighting. It was Disney that wanted huge sooty open flames in lamps that were designed for gas mantles.

@LWalksLondon @LondonGasketeer @AtiyaahDollfie @sophiescott @CityWestminster Working properly they do not flicker. Only open flames flicker.

@LWalksLondon It was an enjoyable evening with lots of interest from the audience in a very unusual location and I was happy to meet plenty of people who supported the save the gas lights efforts. Thanks for making yourself known to me, Laurence.

@clareweston1 It must be 'stones'. !4 lbs = 1 st

@WSuggLighting Oil came before gas and used columns as well as wall brackets.This date is for the introduction of gas lighting. Have you noticed there’s a street called Cockspur Street after the open flame gas burners used in those early lamps. Leads into Trafalgar Square.

@gasworksollie @carlsberg @WSuggLighting Beautiful - and how well they suit each other.
