One of the more substantial local substations, built by the Midlands Electric Corporation (MEC). Despite first impressions, this building is long-disused and its roof is entirely absent. There are proposals to refurbish the building into a commercial/office use, involving an additional side extension just behind the brown utility cabinet.
