Background
History
The station was built after the neighbouring Forth Banks Power Station required frequent expansion, as demand grew. It was built on a large adjacent piece of land. The station continued operating until roughly 1948, when the UK's electrical supply industry was nationalised. The station has since been demolished, and an electric substation now stands on the site.
