Generating plant
When commissioned in 1912, the station had two John Musgrave & Sons steam turbines of the Zoelly impulse type, each driving a Siemens Brothers 2,000 kW alternator, generating a three-phase output of 6,000 V at 50 Hz. The station's three Woodeson boilers were supplied by Clarke Chapman & Co.[1]
The station had its own railway siding connected to the adjacent Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line.

gollark: It's not that hard, I just hold LWIN and type gqx.
gollark: I still struggle with ξ (yes I do have Greek character macros set up for these extremely rare situations).
