The gas works at Burgh Le Marsh were established in 1858, with the Burgh le Marsh Gas and Coke Company being registered in October 1858. This location at the eastern end of High Street was chosen for the site of the gas works, with the first gas believed to be produced and delivered in early 1859. Production at the site stopped with the closure of the works in 1928, and the gas works equipment was sold for scrap in 1929. The former gas works buildings are largely still extant, altough now in residential use and much altered. {1}{2}{3}
