H.V. McKay's Electrical Substation

The Sunshine Harvester Works was powered by its on onsite stream driven generators. These generators were former submarines electrical generators.

​

From about 1911, the electricity generation plant also supplied the adjacent suburbs of Sunshine and parts of Braybrook with electricity.

​

Later the adjacent Victorian Railway Substation in Talmage Street and still later the State Electicity Commission (S.E.C.) supplied the factory. This enable the onsite power generators to be shut down and decommissioned.

 

The buildings then were used by the electrical maintenance department
