Kirkstall Power Station

Kirkstall Power Station was a coal-fired unit opened in 1930, serving the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

[4] The station was later partly converted to oil firing during 1964, which rendered the coal sidings and associated shunters redundant.

The majority of the power station site is covered by a secure caravan storage depot, golf course and artificial football pitches with the rest of the site now forming part of the Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve.

In March 1950 there were reports that grit and dirt had been discharged from the chimneys of Kirkstall Power Station.

[10] The matter was raised in Parliament and the Minister of Fuel and Power replied that the British Electricity Authority had been making alterations to the plant, which should reduce the nuisance.
