Chamber Hall Power Station was a coal-fired power station situated in Bury, Greater Manchester. It was opened in 1912 by the Bury Corporation Electricity Department.[1]

Generating plant

[edit]

When commissioned in 1912, the station had two John Musgrave & Sons steam turbines of the Zoelly impulse type, each driving a Siemens Brothers 2,000 kW alternator, generating a three-phase output of 6,000 V at 50 Hz. The station's three Woodeson boilers were supplied by Clarke Chapman & Co.[1]

The station had its own railway siding connected to the adjacent Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway line.
