Title
Dee Village Electricity Works
Description
A photograph showing the construction of the chimney at the Dee Village Electricity Works taken on 24th August 1901. The original plans for the works included a 200 foot chimney and, due to its location in a residential area, it was one of the relatively few points of contention in the scheme. The function of the chimney was to release waste fumes created by the work's boilers. The chimney was fitted with a Green's Economiser near its base. This was then a common feature of industrial chimney and its function was to pre-heat boiler feed water using waste fumes. The Dee Village works had the biggest economiser in the city at the time. The chimney was demolished after the works were closed in February 1969 and the turbine hall was replaced by an office block. This image is from an album of photographs held by Aberdeen City Libraries detailing the construction of the Dee Village Electricity Works.
