The smaller power station to the left of the gasometers was the Temporary Power Station,erected during the First World War,to meet the electrical demand of nearby munitions factories.Construction of Nechells (Princes) Power Station (above the gasometers) had been stopped by the Government upon the outbreak of the war.All the cooling towers were of wooden construction. |

The gas holders are still there - beside the A47 on what is now Heartlands Parkway. And the smoking chimneys are now Costco |
