Newcastle Courant 21 Feb 1845:
"On the 14th inst., the towns of Amble and Warkworth, which are rapidly rising to importance, were lighted with gas from coal obtained in the neighbourhood, which from the brilliancy of the light, appears to be well adapted for gas purposes. The works were erected by Messrs. John Stevenson and Son, of Newcastle, to whom great credit is due for the efficient manner in which the apparatus is constructed, and for its successful results."
