The History

Dont really know much history other than it shut in 2013 but it is still being "worked" on

The Explore

Again part of mine, @slayaaaa & @mrstewie Euro trip we headed towards this after hitting up H15. Massive thanks to @jST for pointing us in the right direction and for the chance for us to have the Oh My Fucking God moment as we walked in.

The place is surrounded by various conveyors for moving the coal, these were of interest to me as I use to design conveyors for a living. Although once inside the building the sheer awesomeness blew us away.

Everything from the Turbines to the control panels and finally the control room blew us away.

While I was taking pics of the conveyors on the way out @slayaaaa decided to sod off and climb the tower there, await his pics…..


As always enjoy the pics

Beautiful shots! I especially love the cooling towers and the control panels. I'm amazed there isn't more security, considering the lights are still on.

Good job lads, glad to see others making an effort.
