Carville Power Station
I noticed your contribution to List of power stations in England, stating that the turbine building had been converted and still standing. It's a power station I have a bit of interest in but I never knew this, so I was wondering if you had any references about this or anymore information regarding the building. Also, welcome to wikipedia Fintan264 (talk) 20:48, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello - the old turbine halls are now inhabited by Pipecoil Technologies their sales brochure has some pictures http://www.pipecoil.co.uk/downloads/Company%20Overview.pdf - the postcode is a bit misleading but the buildings can be seen on google earth towards the river http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ne28+6hf&sll=54.988634,-1.5246&sspn=0.002838,0.009645&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Wallsend,+Tyne+And+Wear+NE28+6HF,+United+Kingdom&ll=54.988258,-1.525158&spn=0.002838,0.009645&t=h&z=17 my father said the building used to be used by the electricity board (his company sent him on some sort sort of electrical safety training course there in the 70s) though i appreciate this is anecdotal and would need verification - hope this helps - Xallers


 * Thank you for the information. I knew there were buildings on the former station site but I never knew any of the station buildings were still standing. I think I'll try and get down there over the weekend and take some photos. Fintan264 (talk) 23:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
