Northern Miner clipping wording below photo of the Woollen Mill/Electricity building:
“Our historical photograph, dated 1932, show the Woollen Mills Ltd and Electric Light House building on New Queen Road. The building housed a number of large power generators which were used to supply local electricity when power from the supply grid failed. Sadly the generators were removed and sold off when they were no longer required. This building now houses the NORQEB depot.
