Storage racks line the walls of this Switch House storeroom at White Bay Power Station, once stocked with electrical components and instrumentation. Now, many of the shelves stand empty, their contents removed or discarded, leaving behind scattered debris and forgotten equipment.
On the brick floor, a collection of abandoned measurement instruments lies coated in dust, their dials and switches frozen in time. Some enclosures have been knocked over, exposing intricate mechanisms to years of neglect. The floor, once kept clean by constant foot traffic, is now unevenly covered in dirt, each step echoing the slow passage of time.
Light filters through the grid of small window panes, casting long shadows and illuminating the layers of decay. Even in disarray, the space retains a quiet presence, a reminder of the engineers who once maintained the power station’s electrical systems.
A compelling choice for those drawn to industrial history and forgotten places, this print highlights the beauty found in abandonment and timeworn utility.
