Summary
| Description |
English: Former Electricity Power Station The Rochdale canal view of a listed building, the former Winser Street electric power station, often known as Bloom Street power station. It was built by the city council and was the second electric power station to be built to supply the city and nearby suburbs. The first was adjacent to it in Dickinson Street.
The base of the matching redbrick boiler chimney can just be seen above the centre of the roof. It started to supply power (direct current, DC not AC, alternating current as supplied today) in 1901 and the new municipal electric tram services were big power consumers. It looks designed so that coal could be directly off-loaded from barges into the power station bunkers. The bridge crossing the canal in the distance carries Princess Street. Above the photographer is an access bridge to the power station. |
