Kensington Court Generating Station
From Graces Guide
1887 Kensington Court, London, was a new housing estate of a hundred residences; it was connected to a subterranean direct current generating network powered by seven steam engines. The Kensington Court Electric Lighting Company was one of the earliest public power supply schemes and became a model for much of what was to follow. This was Crompton's best remembered public scheme.
1888 succeeded by the Kensington and Knightsbridge Electric Lighting Company
