SO8352 : Worcester's first power station

taken 36 years ago, near to Powick, Worcestershire, England

Worcester's first power station
Worcester's first power station
In front of the building is Powick Bridge that crosses the River Teme and was the site of a battle in the English Civil War. The building beyond with the impressive chimney was a combined hydroelectric and reciprocating steam engine power station. Unfortunately I only know the month this was taken, not the exact day. This building is now dwellings and the travelling crane from within is now preserved in front.
