Frederick Rd power station, supply started in September 1903, replaced the Wallness Rd station down the road (see separate pin)

Salford’s first power station on Wallness Rd (later became part of Frederick Rd), opened in August 1895. Replaced by Frederick Rd power station in September 1903. Wallness used three Mather & Platt alternators with a capacity of 420kw. Generated a single phase supply at 3300v. This was deemed inefficient, once replaced by Frederick Rd the standard supply was 440/220DC. For a short period the 3300v ac supply was maintained by using DC motors to drive the original alternators
