About MeThe first shipment of 'natural' as opposed 'town gas' arrived in Britain in 1964. However, the discovery of West Sole gas field off East Anglia in 1965 was to lead to the first major project to convert the country to natural gas in 1967 when the field entered production.
The government unremittingly promoted the 'new' resouce in an effort to convince the public of the benefits of converting their appliances to be able to use 'natural' gas in an effort to ease the country's huge trade deficits through importing energy..
