Deptford Power Station

United Kingdom

Three distinct coal-fired power stations were built at Deptford on the south bank of the River Thames, the first of which is regarded as the first central high-voltage power station in the world. The stations reached peak output in the 1950s, but then declined, finally closing in 1972.
