Ferrybridge C Power Station - Just North East Of Pontefract - Feb/March 2020 Introduction I had been wanting to do this one for a year or so by now and never really got round to it. This turned out to be a rather interesting night consisting of broken tripods, unusual encounters, muddy...

In 1964 with the soon to be built C site it was decided the best way to bring coal to the power staion from the nearby Kellingly colliery was by barge. Three barges which could carry 210 tonnes which would be dragged by tug up the river. The tippler would use big arms to lift the barges forty...

I'll not go into detail as much for the history of this place as we all know it pretty well. After tackling the other few power stations I decided it'd only be fair to give Ferrybridge a nosey before it got completely torn apart. Especially considering its very close to home. History In the...

Visited in May with prettyvacant71 as usual, and with @AndyK in our December visit. Our one in May ended up with us getting busted because Mr Ferrygate decided on a whim to join us a few hours later, he was spotted on camera then it was game over. It was great to finally see the place properly...

Ferrybridge C Power Station It's been a while since I last played LCPD bingo, +3 years to be precise! Aside from Myself, Gaj & Keitei there was only really fb & Jobs giving these sites any serious attention at the time and I certainly was in no hurry to post any of it online back then...

After seeing Andy’s report and this being so close to home I had to get it done. Wasn’t a very good morning. Ill as fuck throwing up got to see most of it tho.I didn’t go in the winding house sec driving round so we left it at that.

I wouldn't normally create an individual report for a small part of a much larger site, but a fair bit of Ferrybridge C has been covered so there's no point in repeating all that. That is, with the exception of the barge tippler. It's quite a unique structure, unlike other tipplers which can be...
