A blue plaque on the former Hydraulic Power Station in Bankside, Kingston upon Hull

Summary edit

Description
English: The former Hydraulic Power Station on the corner of Machell Street and Catherine Street in Bankside, Kingston upon Hull. According to both a Hull City Council heritage plaque installed in 1990 as well as the Carnegie Heritage Centre website, this opened in 1876 as the "first hydraulic system laid by Act of Parliament in England" and Hull's first "public utility", "supplying water to the Old Town and some of Hull's docks". This carried on pumping water until 1947, when it was shut down due to damage inflicted on operator Hull Hydraulic Power Company's infrastructure during the Second World War. It now seemingly functions as a car workshop.
