- North Petherton
The North Petherton Rosco Acetylene Company, dating from at least 1898, may have supplied gas to the adjacent church prior to the Gas and Carbide Company.
The North Petherton Rosco Acetylene Company existed from at least 1898. It is noted that this company may have supplied gas to the adjacent church before the Gas and Carbide Company began operations. This suggests an earlier, localized use of acetylene before the town-wide street lighting system was established.
