Central Power Station,Bromborough,19-03-10

[Kevsy21]

In 1918 Lever Brothers built a power station on the banks of the Mersey on what was to become Commercial Road.
The station was called Central Power Station and had three coal fired boilers and a 5 Megawatt generating set manufactured by Siemen’s Brothers.
By the 1950s Central Power Station was producing power for the various Lever’s factories around Port Sunlight and Bromborough, both of the Villages and for other companies operating in the Bromborough Pool area.
In January 1997, Unilever announced that Merseyside Power Station would close, with power distribution being handed over to MANWEB, at the end of 1998.

Pretty trashed but still plenty artefacts to identify it's former glory days. Is this the only building left on the site?
