The Bensons Brook Hydro Electric Scheme, It is
possible that this system dates from c.1881-82
making it one of the earliest such schemes in the
world. It survives almost complete as an
important example of the early use of industrial
hydro electricity. The success of this scheme
could perhaps point a way forward for the
sustainable generation of electric power in rural
communities.
