National Gas Museum |
||||||||||
|
At the Gas Museum you will gain a fascinating insight into the story of gas past and present, with particular reference to the East Midlands region. Following the demerger of British Gas in 1997, Centrica Plc and Transco set up the National Gas Museum Trust to take over the running of the museum. The objectives of the Trust are to ensure the preservation of 
the artefacts for future generations and to provide a way of collecting and displaying present and future artefacts.
Situated in the Victorian gatehouse of the original Aylestone Road Gas Works, Leicester, the museum has something of interest for everyone. On the ground floor is the gas production area where visitors can marvel at the giant tools and equipment used to make gas and learn how 
gas was made from coal. Upstairs discover about natural gas and see our gas appliances display.
