Structural Integrity refers to the physical

condition of the building, structure or relic and

the sympathy with which alterations have been made

to its fabric. Some items have remained unchanged

since theY w~re instal'led or' erected ~hiLe others

have been alte~ed and completely or partially

dismantled.

Interpretive. ability is the ease with which a

building or relic can demonstrate the part it

played in a process or in the development of a

site. Purpose-built structures on these sites and

associated plant and machines lend themselves to

interpretation of methods employed in mid

twentieth century Power Houses.

Operational ability is the ability of a machine to

be operated in its present condition. This means

opera tiona 1. ~'Ji th a min imum amoun t of ~'JOr-k being

done ·to· it ..and prcivided th~t norm~l facilities

such as power sour.ce or other materials are

available.

Relative rarity is the measure of the number of

similar items eXisting now as compared to the

number originally made. For example,. the sole

remaining two metre-long quadruple-sheave

hydraulic ram, of which there were literally

hundreds made, is regarded in the relative rarity

category as being of greater significance than the

sole remaining ten metre-long-sheave hydraulic ram

of which only four were ever installed.

Thewhite building on the right contained the company offices around the time of theFirst World War, and was later converted into a two-storey structure. Coalbunkers were located towards the back of the site, containing a travelling crane,and boilers underneath. Trucks tipped ash into an area underneath a suspendedfloor. Between the coal plant and the white building used to be a chimney stack.Margaret Street is situated between this site and the pit in the foreground.
