Engine house of Greenwich Generating Station, London, 1906. Interior showing machinery. The Generating Station was built in 1902-10 for the London County Council to provide electric power to the capital's tramways. It was originally coal-fired and is still used as a backup electricity source for London's underground rail system. It is one of few early power stations to continue in operation and is notable as an early example of a steel-framed building.
