Thanks for the tea crate sizes Mikkel.
By way of thanks, in 1875 an act was passed that required towns, not villages, hamlets etc, to have pavements, street lighting and rubbish boxes. Not dustbins, very 20C, but any biscuit tin, box or other container and household could and were fined for failing to put theirs out for collection. So as Farthing has both it must be a town assuming the gas supply must also be used by the GWR.
