Central Powerstation, Bromborough

Visited with Andyj23uk on the way back from a mooch around Ellesemere Port.

Central Power Station Bromborough was built in 1918 by Lever Brothers on the banks of the Mersey to service their growing industry. It consisted of three coal fired boilers with chain grates and a 5 Megawatt set. It was soon expanded in the 30's with three more boilers and a 6.25 Megawatt set to provide electricity to the nearby Port Sunlight village and the new Bromborough Docks.


The derelict control room is all that remains of the Power Station now, heavily pikied & graffed up, it's still worth a visit if you're in the area.
