Schweppes electricity substation, Colwall

The Western Power Distribution electricity substation is between the tree and the black & white house, on the southeast side of the B4218 Walwyn Road. The substation identifier is Schweppes. This location is near the Malvern Water Bottling Works (closed down at the January 2016 date of this photo) which were built by Schweppes in 1892 next to the Great Western Railway line so that empty bottles could be easily transported to the site, and full bottles taken away. A notice on the substation shows the presence of SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride, an insulating gas used in high voltage systems)
