Poolbeg Chimneys
La historia de Poolbeg se remonta a principios del siglo XX debido al crecimiento de la demanda de electricidad. En 1903 se produjo por primera vez energía en Pigeon House. Pigeon House continuó generando electricidad durante años de gran incertidumbre, incluído la Revuelta Obrera de 1913, la Primera Guerra Mundial, el Levantamiento de 1916 y la Guerra Civil en 1922, antes de pasar finalmente de manos de la  Dublin Corporation Lighting Committee a las de la recién formada Electricity Supply Board en 1929.

La Central de Poolbeg fue encargada al final de la década de los 60 y empezó a producir electricidad en 1971. Mientras tanto, la vieja Pigeon House se mantuvo en pie trabajando hasta que finalmente fue cerrada en 1976.



The Poolbeg story began back in the early 1900s as demand for electricity grew steadily. In 1903 power was first generated in Pigeon House. Pigeon House continued to generate electricity through times of great uncertainty, including the years of the 1913 Lockout, the First World War, the 1916 Rebellion and the Civil War in 1922, before finally passing from Dublin Corporation Lighting Committee into the care of the newly formed Electricity Supply Board in 1929.

Poolbeg station was commissioned in the late 1960s and began producing electricity in 1971. By then the old Pigeon House was on stand by duty and was finally decommissioned and officially closed in 1976.
