One of several jobs known only from the listing in the 1905 Engineering Record notice, this was a central powerhouse and “machinery foundations” for what would be a troubled and fairly short-lived “interurban” or light railway. The timeline for the “rapid railway” is variously given from 1903, 1906 and 1908 through several mergers and eventual demise in 1930. The 1906 figure seems most likely, if the primary powerplant for the line was built in 1904.
The historical website noted below states:
The voltage specified seems improbable; it is possible the author meant the station was 33kW.
RR line abandoned and dismantled around 1931; demolition of power station assumed sometime after that.
None.
