Former Mill and Victorian Power Station at Powick

“A former water mill, next to Powick Bridge, was converted in 1894 to become the world's first combined steam/hydro electric power station. Electricity from this mill provided about half the city of Worcester's needs. The Powick site continued generating until the 1950s. When it closed, it was converted into a laundry and has since been converted into residential apartments. The site was chosen as a mill site from at least the 11th century, and very probably earlier than that. The mill leat was dug in 1291. A succession of water mills replaced each other throughout the Middle Ages and into the 16th century and later. The mill is a Grade II Listed Building.”

Looking towards Worcester Cathedral from the Monarch's Way

The picture was taken, if i can remember rightly, from about the point on the OS Map that shows the 1651 Battle symbol. A few pictures have been painted of the Battle with the Cathedral as a backdrop.
