Generator house at Barlowfold
II
Generator house: circa 1880 probably for W A Turner. Pre-cast concrete sections. One-storey, symmetrical, two-bay south front. Nine-pane iron casements. Interior: A steel pipe ducts water from the former mill leat through a turbine electric generator by W Gunther of Oldham and out beneath the house. The switchgear for both AC and DC generation is against the south wall.
W A Turner was an early pioneer of the use of electric light in his Cotton Mills and an active director of the Edison Electric Light Co. and this installation supplied Barlowfold, a house he occupied in 1881.
