So far no one has found the number in the Box What number do you see? Correct answer wins another $300

@TimBryars @LondonGasketeer @HistoricEngland Totally deserved 👏👍

Another milestone for @LondonGasketeer and for me, personally. The wonderful old Rochester gas lamp outside our bookshop - where our campaign began - has been included in the second round of @HistoricEngland listings, so it now has full legal protection. historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-li…

@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.

Westminster’s gas lamps live on: thoughtful article from @DCMS minister Lord Parkinson. Delighted to see mention of @WalkerMarcus, @SimonCallow and the rest of the dedicated @LondonGasketeer, including notice of our forthcoming Gasketeer wedding... thecritic.co.uk/london-lamps-l…

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

Westminster’s historic gas-powered lamps – and the campaign to save them from faux-environmentalism @LondonGasketeer @thevicsoc @hbap1924 Paywall, sorry everyone, but it's a great article: "The campaign is a success story for ordinary people everywhere". telegraph.co.uk/environment/20…

@rosiebrookspics @TimBryars @cecilcourtwc2 Lovely!

Memories of carols in the beautiful @cecilcourtwc2 with @TimBryars fa la la la la

@TimBryars @cecilcourtwc2 Happy Christmas Tim for the home of the London Gasketeers & all your hard work- Chris

Now it's Christmas! Season's greetings from @cecilcourtwc2

@Deliveroo Gravy of course!

What's missing from this Christmas dinner? 🍽️🧑‍🎄

@gasworksollie Great day!!

14 years to the day that I was made redundant; the same day we found out we had our first baby on the way…and the same day as me and my wife had panto dress rehearsal! That one sticks in the mind quite well!

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

@TimBryars @LondonGasketeer @plynmistr @CityWestminster @gaslightingman All the gas lamps on Place de la Concorde , Paris , thé centerpoint of the marvellous videos in Hotel de la Marine seen by thousands daily ..

We’re been incredibly active on Instagram. Now’s the time to get active on Twitter. @citywestminster want to rip out their 275 authentic, historic working gaslamps to replace them with reproduction lanterns powered by LED. Follow @LondonGasketeer and help us to stop this.

@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.

So iconic (but limited in number) are our gas lamps - Walt Disney Studios had to supply many of their own - Mary Poppins Returns (2018) - @CityWestminster Lets keep the ones we still have, original and authentic... @LondonGasketeer @TimBryars

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

@LondonGasketeer @AtiyaahDollfie @sophiescott @CityWestminster It's not all about the fittings! It's about the soft light and gentle 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.

@gaslightingman I was very pleased to meet you (briefly) last night.

I am giving a short PPP talk on the effect gas lighting had on the City tied in to William Sugg products. Tonight, 7 o'clock, Thursday 27th at Salon for the City at The Horse Hospital. Book in advance! salonforthecity.blogspot.com

@gasworksollie The more the better

I’m not keen on pointing fingers of disapproval, but time-coupled electricity supply & demand is needed as part of how we design our net zero energy system. Warrington is first UK council to generate all its electric warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/23038726.…

@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.

Did you know? The first public street lighting column was introduced in 1807 by Frederick Albert Winsor in Pall Mall, London. All lighting columns in the streets were gas lit until electricity was introduced in the late 19th century.

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

If @carlsberg did houses…. How’ve I not seen this little beaut in Hyde Park before? With its own gas lamp, of course. @gaslightingman @WSuggLighting

@NGNgas @gasworksollie @DNV_Group @SGNgas @WWUtilities @CadentGasLtd Great - we need to see more of the future of gas to stop people only talking about electricity that will never be able to achieve net zero by itself. Remember all those overhead electric supplies they will have to add to whilst most of our gas supplies are already underground!

Vital research to understand how gas networks would operate with #hydrogen is underway as part of the #H21 programme😀 Catch-up with this video showing testing on a purpose-built 1km MicroGrid at Spadeadam 👇🏼vimeo.com/577950717 @DNV_Group @SGNgas @WWUtilities @CadentGasLtd

Whilst gas lighting is still being removed from Westminster, over in Prague the tallest lamplighter is demonstrating gas lighting on the Charles Bridge and promoting it as a tourist attraction. Thank you for the links Jan Zakovec prague.eu/en/event/21409… expats.cz/czech-news/art…

@thevicsoc William Sugg supplied and installed around 200 open flame gas lamps and even installed all the hydraulic pipework for raising the bascules that used water not oil for the opening in 1894. The advert was in Building News the day before the opening 29th June 1894

Over 50 architects submitted designs for the building of Tower Bridge in 1876 🌉 Did you know... a whopping 31 million bricks and 22,000 litres of paint were used to build Horace Jones’s winning design? Read about protecting London’s historic skyline ➡️ bit.ly/38ifSYf
