Abstract: |
In advance of consolidation and adaption for use as welfare facilities for the Brodsworth Hall garden teams, the generator house between the hall and the stable block was subjected to a drawn and photographic survey. Limited historical research showed that the building was constructed in 1913 to supply power to the estate. Electricity was last generated in 1939 and shortly after the estate was linked to the national grid. The structure is of brick under a slate roof and divides into three cells. The central part is the generating room, to the north is a small washroom and to the south a battery storage room. Within the generating room a number of concrete machine beds indicate where the engines and generators had once stood. An interesting feature are the remains of a small telephone exchange board. Little of note survives in the battery room; in the washroom a set-pot and small sink are probably original fittings. |
