Gas lighting is installed in Weaver Street, Norrwick

Norrwick, 20 February 1908

Norrwick, late last night. Gas lighting is installed in Weaver Street, Norrwick. Residents complain of the smell and the brightness. The town officers attended a little after 8 in the morning. Later: no change.

By the next morning Norrwick had returned to its ordinary business, the causeway being under a hand's depth of water. The driver of the carrier's cart said the town had seen the like before and would see it again.

Those concerned: Norrwick (location); Weaver Street (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Gustav Marrow, has been informed.

Later editions: no change.
