Description: | A man turns a dial in the control room in Lots Road Power Station. The dial positions read: 'faster', 'shut down', 'telephone', and 'on load'.
This power station opened in 1902-05 and was built to power the Bakerloo, District, Northern and Piccadilly lines. These were all part of the Underground Electric Railways of London headed by Charles Tyson Yerkes. From 1968, the Central line also received its power from Lots Road.
In 2000, London Transport sold Lots Road, sourcing its electricity instead from the National Grid. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Public Services Work Art and Design | Temporal: | 27 May 1947 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
