Incoming gas connection then 8 branches to send gas to 8 different areas.
Each valve is marked  "Huletts Improved Full Way Carters Valve."
The gas table (arrangement of valves) was built into a wooden cabinet. 
Each valve has a small bypass valve, believed to be used to keep a pilot flame alight, to enable the main light to be turned on and off without having to relight it each time.
