(grid reference SO 843548)
For many years the funnels of Worcester Power Station dominated the skyline on the west bank of the river Severn at Worcester. The power station formerly owned by Worcester Corporation originally supplied power to the City of Worcester but then became a part of the National Grid. There were sidings on the south side of the Worcester to Hereford railway line shortly before Henwick station. The small locomotive shed here was just big enough to accommodate the Greenwood & Batley battery locomotive (2000 of 1945) that was based here. This locomotive was transferred to Stourport Power Station in June 1968. The site has now been cleared.
This aerial view of Worcester is looking up the river Severn in a northerly direction. Worcester power station is the prominent building on the left hand bank of the river between the two bridges. The sidings were located behind the power station. The bridge in the foreground is a road bridge whilst the bridge in the background carries the Worcester to Hereford railway. The open area on the right hand side beyond the railway bridge is Worcester Racecourse.
