A view from the boiler house roof towards chimney no.1 on the construction site of Portishead 'B' Power Station, showing two Laing workers repointing the chimney's brickwork. Portishead B Power Station opened in the mid 1950’s. Portishead's original power station, which was completed in 1929, became known as Power Station 'A'. Portishead B was built on part of the Great Western Railway’s original Portishead Railway Station, which was demolished and rebuilt closer to the centre. Portishead B had eight coal-fired and four oil-fired steam boilers. The power station closed in 1982, and the chimneys were demolished in 1992.
