1936 Woking Electrical Control Room Still Stands, One of Two Survivors
A 1936 control room built by Swedish firm Asean to manage electricity on the Southern Rail network survives in Woking, featuring an oval white-domed room with a central switchboard and ornate copper light fixtures. It operated until 1997, when a newer substation took over its functions, and is now Grade II listed, with offices in the building still in use.
