An operational electricity sub-station on Castle Street, Stafford. The sub-station was built before nationalisation as the light brown concrete panels above the door top read Corporation Electricity Department - the corporation being Stafford Borough Council. Councils generated electricity not just for their own area but also for surrounding areas. The building has been subject to vandalism - a pitched roof has been replaced by a flat roof as it was damaged on several occasions by rocks thrown on to the former tiled pitched roof.
