Overview

History & significance

The hydro-electric power house and associated weir 250 metres north-west of Tin Bridge is an industrial monument representing the application of water power technology to electricity generation. The structure dates from the early twentieth century, a period when existing watercourses were increasingly harnessed to produce electrical power for local communities and industries. The weir, constructed across the watercourse, created a reservoir to provide consistent water pressure for driving the turbine machinery housed within the power station building. This installation exemplifies the transition from traditional mill power to modern hydroelectric generation that characterised English industrial development in the early twentieth century.
