Notes | CARTINGTON B 6344 NU 00 SE (North side, off) 17/5 Burnfoot Power House, 70 metres north of Burnfoot Lodge II* Power house, 1883-7 for Lord Armstrong. Snecked stone with rock-faced-and- margined quoins and dressings; red clay tile roof. Z-plan,single storey. South elevation in 2 parts: Gable end of south-west wing (battery house) on left has inserted boarded double doors under timber lintel; 2-light mullioned window on left and slit in gable. Set back to right is centre block: boarded door and pent projection to right with similar door on left return. West elevation in 2 parts: 3-bay south-west wing on right has 3-light windows and 2 slatted ridge vents with moulded finials. Left return of wing has 2 similar windows and slit in gable. 2-bay rear wing, set back to left, has boarded door, 3-light window and larger slatted ridge vent; roof hipped to left. Small extension set back on far left with similar window. Interior: Thompson double vortex turbine and the earliest known example of an R.E. Crompton double magnet Trade-type Gramme ring compound dynamo; removed for repair at time of survey, to be re-installed spring 1987. Historical Note: Built after creation of Nelly's Moss Lakes gave a 107-metre head, allowing Armstrong to construct equipment giving 90 amps at 110 volts. In 1895 a Tangye gas engine (now removed) and a Parkes dynamo were added, virtually doubling the power output. Last used in 1945. Listed and graded for historical interest. Adjacent wooden shed with corrugated iron roof is not of interest. , | Facts |
