This morning I dropped by Frances Street in Cheadle (living on Frances Avenue, we used to exchange wrongly-delivered mail with them on a fairly regular basis, though that seems to be have improved recently).

I was looking at the electricity substation on the road,  with peeling paint on the doors, a leak on the roof and overgrowing foliage along the side,

My initial assumption was that it’s owned by Electricity Northwest Ltd and maintained by United Utilities, but a resident who’s looked into it has got a more confusing message.

Looks like I’ll be doing some digging on this one – it hasn’t been touched in years.
