London Hydraulic Power Company, Shadwell

Hydraulic power was once important in London as in other cities. A network of hydraulic mains extended for many miles and was controlled from the headquarters in Shadwell, built in 1880. But hydraulic power went out of fashion as electricity became more convenient, and the company went out of business in the 1930s. The buildings are now used as an arts centre.
