Liverpool Corporation Electric Supply Department

From Graces Guide

of Hatton Garden, Liverpool

1896 The Corporation of Liverpool purchased the undertaking of the Liverpool Electric Supply Co, including the generating stations at Highfield Street, Paradise Street, Oldham Street and Lark Lane. The total capacity was 4MW.

As demand increased, it was necessary for the Corporation to build two larger power stations, not least because of the demand of the Tramways which had been taken over by the Corporation in 1897; these new stations were located at Pumpfields and Lister Drive.

By 1919 all of the smaller and older stations in Liverpool had been closed.
