cooling tower

I visited this site on 17 Nov 25 as part of a wider visit to Charleroi. I was quite short of time so I only visited the cooling tower and some of the adjacent ancillaries. Parking was very easy (about 100m up the road) and it was pretty much a walk in with no signs of security. As I was on...

The Five Sisters, still towering over the Derbyshire countryside 20 years after the power station was demolished... Hopefully they stay for many years to come... The History - Been covered many times before, so I'll try and keep it brief Willington Power Station was a coal fired power station...

We had our little lad out with us today so decided to take him on a drive to this place as it seemed like it would be an easy, chilled out explore. We've always wanted to have a nosey at some cooling towers so can now tick this off. History - Willington Power Station was comprised of two...

I don’t suppose anyone would have a National Power Cooling Tower Mug for sale? I’d love one. I’ve found one but the seller isn’t returning my messages. Does anyone have one? Think it’s a Thorpe Marsh one.

Some background information. This powerplant, known within the community as powerplant IM, opened in the 1920's once was one of the biggest coal burning plants in Belgium. It's situated in a small, dirty neighborhood of a town at the river the Meuse. Water would be let into the cooling tower...

It's another abandoned location, that we visited twice. During our first trip to an abandoned power plant EC-2, we visited a control room which is similar to the Kelenföld one We wanted also to see the cooling tower inside, but it was unfortunately closed. According to the rule "take only...

Explored with @Ojay, @slayaaaa, @xplorer.x and @Terminal Decline History: Eggborough Power Station was a 2-gigawatt coal-fired generating plant in North Yorkshire, built between 1962 and 1970, and first began generating electricity in 1967 just before the completion of the site in 1970. The...

1. The History Power Plant IM was originally built in 1921 in the Monceau-sur-Sambre neighbourhood of Charleroi. After its completion it was one of the largest coal burning power plants in Belgium. Water was let into the cooling tower where it would be cooled by the wind that swept in from...

So this was an easy one: It is next to an abandoned power plant ( wich we did not visit cuz one of my friends got taken down by a SWAT team there ) The door was open and didn't had any problem entering the tower. Next to the tower are some old industrial storage silo's for coal wich you can...

This is my first post on here so please bear with the terrible pictures as they were all taken on my phone on which I cracked the lens a few weeks before but it was all I had as I had left my camera at home. Anyway, I came up here on a long 25-mile cycle from Nottingham with my friend and since...

What better way to spend a red hot Wednesday afternoon wondering round the c station. There was quite a few fellas about in the turbine hall today with there clip boards taking notes.. not much different from last week apart from we had a look at the cooling tower.

Went on a short trip to Belgium with BigBadAsh and SB80. Only had a couple of things planned but didnt quite manage to see the IM Power station , but we did get to see a fabulous oil reservoir. I had seen a report on it back in 2013 and always wondered why all of the subsequent reports on IM had...
