The Western Power Distribution electricity substation is on the corner of Charles Street and Widden Street. Its identifier is HELIPEBS S/S 5047. The unusual name is mostly likely a reference to the Gloucester business now located in Sisson Road in the city. Helipebs began in 1834 as Kell, Meats and Co producing agricultural implements and machines. Helipebs is currently one of the world's leading manufacturers of fluid power technology. A Caution notice shows the presence of SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride, an insulating gas used in high voltage systems).
