| London Hydraulic Power Company. The company was established in 1883 to install a hydraulic power network in London. This one opened in 1883 and was one of 5 hydraulic power stations. At its peak, the network consisted of 180 miles (290 km) of pipes, and the total power output was about 7,000 horsepower (5.2 MW). The company began to replace it's stem engines with electric motors in 1923 and the network was finally closed in 1977. |

It is indeed the former power station. In the days before the clean air acts boilers commonly had individual chimneys. The later Bankside PS had flue-gas washing equipment,and a single tall stack, since it had been recognised that acidic gases were damaging the stone of London landmarks. St Pauls was probably the driving force in this decision. Gas washing reduced the thermal efficiency of the equipment, while a tall stack improved dispersion of the flue gases over a wider area. |
