North Western Gas Board
The North Western Gas Board was a state-owned utility area gas board providing gas for light and heat to industries and homes in the north-west of England.
It was established on 1 May 1949 under the terms of the Gas Act 1948,[1] and dissolved in 1973 when it became a region of the newly formed British Gas Corporation, British Gas North Western, as a result of the Gas Act 1972.
