of Whiston Street, Shoreditch
By 1902 Shoreditch Borough Council recognised that a new power station was needed because the original one was too small - see Shoreditch Electricity and Refuse Destructor Works
The new station was built at the corner of Whiston-street and Bath-place, Haggerston, on the banks of the Regent's Canal.
Kincaid, Waller and Manville designed the station. Babcock and Wilcox marine-type boilers supplied steam to 2 slow-speed Corliss compound steam engines, each coupled to a dynamo of 800 kW capacity made by Westinghouse.
