We usually spend new year in Eire so took the opportunity to revisit the old Pigeon House power station in Dublin, having had a brief look round the previous year. True_British_Metal did a nice post on this Nov 2016 - see his effort for some history and better shots, particularly of the control room. Although the boilers and turbines have long gone what’s left is good for several hours of pottering around - the place was developed in stages, so there is a bit of everything from the architectural point of view. Visited with junior and a young non-member. Pictures go roughly in the order in which rooms were visited.
Dark in here - trying to take pictures with a small torch in one hand and a camera in the other doesn’t really work.
I’d be interested to know what went on in here and the rooms with white tiled cubicles close by - some sort of switching/combining operation?

By this stage the troops were beginning to get bored and couldn’t be coaxed into interesting tunnels deep in the bowels…so we called it a day and headed out.
