The curved control panel of White Bay Power Station’s Control Room stands frozen in time, lined with switches, dials, and meters that once dictated the flow of power to Sydney’s rail and tram network.
Faded danger tags still cling to some of the levers, a lingering trace of protocols that once safeguarded workers from high-voltage risks. Now, the caution they signal is obsolete. The circuits they protected have been silent for decades. The surrounding panels, with their precision-labeled meters and worn-out switches, remain untouched, their function lost to time.
This evocative print captures the intricate design of mid-century industrial control systems, offering a striking focal point for collectors of industrial photography and architectural enthusiasts alike.
Printed on museum-quality archival paper, preserving the fine details and textures that bring this forgotten control room back to life.
