Fakenham Gas Museum is the last surviving small town gasworks in the country. Although the works was almost certainly equipped with steam engines when constructed the economies and convenience of electric motors and internal combustion engines for such small scale operations has meant that no original steam engines survive on site. There is, however a small vertical boiler in the retort house and a small ex-educational vertical engine by Readers of Nottingham has been brought in in preservation days.
