Generators sit idle in the Battery Room, once a silent safeguard against power loss. Lined with marble-mounted switches, this space housed the backup system that kept White Bay Power Station’s control circuits alive. In the event of a failure, these batteries ensured that relays, protective systems, and essential switchgear could still function, preventing catastrophic shutdowns.
Now, the last traces of charge have long since faded. The room stands quiet, its purpose fulfilled, its machinery left to gather dust in the dim morning light. The once-critical controls remain in place, their levers and gauges frozen in time, a testament to the station’s meticulous engineering.
A striking addition for collectors of industrial photography, this print captures the stillness of a system designed to never fail.
