When your meter(s) was changed you should have had final readings for them and opening readings for the new one(s)

I dont remember them giving them to me

The meter changers usually write them on a meter reading card and stick them through your letterbox if you aren't in.

Regardless of that, they should have appeard on a bill in a similar fashion to when prices change (i.e. you see one calculations upto a certain date and then a second set after that date)
