English Station, the vacant hulk of a building setback from Grand Avenue on Ball Island between Wooster Square and Fair Haven, once provided the city of New Haven with electricity. In the early 20th century, barges and trains conveniently delivered coal to the former power plant to generate electricity. Since 1992, when English Station was completely deactivated, this artifact of New Haven's industrial heritage has sat contaminated without any clear plan for re-use.
