Dee Village Electricity Works

A photograph showing the eastern side of the Dee Village Electricity Works under construction on 28th December 1901.

On 2nd November 1901, as the facility was being built, it was found necessary to start operating the works early to meet the increasing demand for electricity. This was achieved with the construction of a temporary wooden engine-room and boiler-room that was replaced as building progressed. The wooden structure shown here is most likely the temporary engine room.

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