The Fakenham Museum of Gas and Local History is the only surviving town gasworks in England and Wales, showcasing the complete equipment used for the manufacture of gas from coal. Housed in the former gasworks that ceased operations in 1965, the museum offers a rich insight into cultural, social, and industrial heritage through its extensive collections of historical lighting, heating, and cooking equipment.
As a Scheduled Monument, the museum features a unique glimpse into the past, highlighting the contributions of the gasworks to everyday life and industrial history. Operated entirely by volunteers, the museum allows visitors to explore the legacy of town gas production and its impact on communities in Fakenham and beyond.
