A private gas undertaking was formed by a Mr David Hulett in Barking in 1836, which became the Barking Gas Co. by deed of settlement in 1837. This company was dissolved and the works purchased by Mr Hullet in 1858. Another Barking Gas Co. (Statutory) was formed in 1867. The works were located at Abbey Road, Barking close to the River Roding. In 1912, the Gas Light and Coke Co. purchased the undertaking and closed down the manufacturing station, although the gasholders remained in use after 1949. |
