If you look on the sister site, the section dealing with the history of Amble, you will see a "Who was who of old Amble". Read about John Henderson who erected the gas works.
According to McAndrews the first gas company was formed in 1848. Morrison and Rylance suggest that the works were originally at Henderson Street before the move to the Wynd. The 1860 map of Amble shows the works at the bottom of the Wynd.
