The undertaking was then known as the Faversham Gas, Light and Coke Co., Ltd., and continued as such for 57 years, the name being changed in 1888 to the Faversham Gas Co. Ltd. During the following year it ceased to be a limited liability company, obtaining statutory powers from Parliament as a public utility undertaking.'[2]
