Worcester's first power station

In front of the building is Powick Bridge that crosses the River Teme and was the site of a battle in the English Civil War. The building beyond with the impressive chimney was a combined hydroelectric and reciprocating steam engine power station. Unfortunately I only know the month this was taken, not the exact day. This building is now dwellings and the travelling crane from within is now preserved in front.
