Dee Village Electricity Works
A photograph showing the newly constructed interior of the Dee Village Electricity Works taken on 20th March 1901.

An electric conveyor belt with carts, and later a railway, brought vast quantities of cheap-quality coal from storage bunkers to heat the station's boilers. John S. Reid in Mechanical Aberdeen (1990) states that up to 20 tons of coal an hour was supplied to the furnaces.

Each boiler is marked "Aberdeen Electricity Works", is numbered, and has the date of installation - 1901. The figure to the left of the image looks like James Alexander Bell, the City Electrical Engineer.

This image is from an album of photographs held by Aberdeen City Libraries detailing the construction of the Dee Village Electricity Works.
