Construction began in 1902 and was completed in December 1904, the power station becoming operational in February 1905.
The station burned 700 tonnes of coal a day and had a generating capacity of 50,000 kW.
At the time it was claimed to be the largest power station ever built, and it eventually powered much of the tube. It was finally shut down on 21 October 2002, and the tube system has since been powered by the National Grid. [Source: Wikipedia]
Comment: Building work began in 2013. Two skyscrapers will rise, 37 and 25 stories respectively.
