Report - Agecroft Power Station- Lancashire - July 19

[Bikin Glynn]

The Agecroft power stations were a series of 3 coal powered stations across the North of England. These ran from 1925 to 1993 with the main power stations being demolished in 1994 (after a small delay due to nesting Peregrines)
Im not sure if anything else remains other than this which is essentially a large distribution room & a beautifully decaying control room.
Explored a some weeks back with Dan B, I loved this place! it just had a magical feel about it & thankfully is devoid of any vandalism.
I really hope this place is preserved & not demolished but Im not sure what the chances are!

Best way to find out is to go for a look. The report is a few months old now so things may have changed

That 'Room' was fully stripped and skipped a few months back now, bugger all to see now sadly apart from 4 walls and some pigeon shit, wasn't too shabby before they started gutting the place
