North Tees Power Station, Billingham Reach. 1967

This picture shows a steam locomotive shunting coal wagons at the former Power Station at Billingham Reach in August 1967. There were at one time three generating stations on the site A, B amd C. The original A was built by the North Eastern Electrity Supply Co. I believe the building on the left is the B station, and the one in the centre C. The B station was demolished shortly after this picture was taken, the C station was at this time operational. The locomotive is an 0-4-0 saddle tank built in the North East by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns. Photograph and information courtesy of Mr David Bate.
