Description

The Former Transporter Bridge Power House is a small rectangular building made of red sandstone, constructed in 1901. It has three levels and features twin steeply pitched slate hipped roofs, which are now covered with green felt and have ridge terminal finials. The upper storey, which was at the level of the former bridge, includes door and window openings with Gibbs surrounds, a stone moulded cornice with modillions, and a torus moulded plinth. The lower levels have a rock-faced finish, and at the lowest level, there is a white glazed tiled tunnel with a rusticated external arch. This building is one of three support structures that remain from the Transporter Bridge, which was closed in 1961. It is currently used as an Electricity Board Sub-Station.
