SJ8497 : Electricity station, Winser Street, Manchester

taken 13 years ago, near to Manchester, England

Electricity station, Winser Street, Manchester
Electricity station, Winser Street, Manchester
Built 1901, with arched windows and prominent octagonal chimney. Grade II listed.
It was apparently one of the earliest combined heat and power stations in the country. I believe that in some form or another it still provides power.
