History
“Built in 1918 to supply energy to Lever’s Port Sunlight factories. The station consisted of three coal fired boilers with chain grates and a 5 Megawatt set. The station could produce a total of 11.5 Megawatts of electrical power at 3.3kv. 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. It had a connection to the main MANWEB electricity supply so that in periods of high demand it imported power from MANWEB, and at times of low demand it exported power to MANWEB. This substation control room was used to control power distribution around the local past industrial area.”
