History The first power station on the site was the coal-filed Littlebrook A Power Station, built by the County of London Electric Lighting Co. in the early 1930s. It was opened in 1939. The 1st photo below shows Littlebrook site A, B, C stations, the turbine in the 2nd photo would have been...

History (from power stations of the u.k. website) Electricity has been generated at Littlebrook since 1939 when the first Littlebrook Power Station was commissioned by the Kent Electric Power Company. Littlebrook ‘D’, which commenced generating electricity in 1981, is the fourth power station...

History taken from Wikipedia: "Littlebrook Power Station is a series of four oil and coal-fired power stations situated on the south bank of the River Thames, next to the Queen Elizabeth 2 Bridge and the Dartford Tunnel in Dartford, Kent. The final power station, Littlebrook D, ceased operating...

After scaling Littlebrook's chimney three times over the summer with several mates, and snapping roughly 70 odd shots, I've finally decided to post a few of them... After dealing with the copious amounts of dust, pigeon shite, grease and god knows what else on the chimney's 800 step staircase...

I'll just go straight in with the photos here as the history has already been well covered in previous reports and this is more of an update. This was my third visit to the power station and it was sad to see how the building has been torn apart since my first visit in June last year. It's...

First off, massive thanks to @Ojay for the upgrade. I thought I'd make Littlebrook my first post in here as this has been one of my favourite explores of the year so far. I had a really nice chilled out day here with the place to myself. And getting to see the place bathed in natural daylight...

Littlebrook ‘D’ Power Station was the last of the four power stations to be built on the bank of the Thames, near Dartford. The first building, ‘A’ station was completed in 1939, followed by the ‘B’ and ‘C’ stations. These were all originally built to run on coal but later converted to be...

Recently I had a tussle with the 1.4GW Littlebrook D oil-fired station next to the Dartford crossing. Starting generating in 1981, Littlebrook ‘D’ had three 685MW General Electric Company units. It was conceptualised by the CEGB and built in response to an initiative to diversify energy fuel...

Littlebrook Chimney Climb The 705ft (215m) tall chimney is the fourth largest in the UK, sitting on the river Thames next to the Dartford crossing and Queen Elizabeth 2 Bridge. Massive props to @slayaaaa for this one, wouldn’t have been possible without his help. History Littlebrook power...

Littlebrook Power Station Chimney Coal and oil fired power station chimneys, or high flue-gas stacks, sit as some of the highest structures in the UK. The tallest being Drax at around 800ft, the second now being Littlebrook after the fall of Inverkip and Grain. I've always wanted to climb one...

Littlebrook may not be as huge as some of the stations dotted around the UK, but it's certainly much bigger than it looks from the Dartford Crossing. With the UK's fourth tallest chimney and an output of over 2 gigawatts it's certainly no baby. It pops up on here from time to time with various...

Littlebrook D Power Station After much to-ing and fro-ing over what where we'd go that night, @mockney reject and I decided we'd be happy getting bitten to fuck by mosquitoes visiting this little gem. I didn't have my camera with me, so phone photos will ensue. Getting in was interesting, but...

The Details Borrowed from The Evening Standard newspaper A building has “collapsed” into an underground station as part of the biggest disaster training exercise ever seen in Europe. The four-day Exercise Unified Response is simulating a high-rise tower block under renovation falling into...

Trains and turbines Whilst gpoing over the bridge me and MR pretty frequently talk crap about how we'll one day visit Littlebrook B power station, nice art deco, industrial etc. Never got round to it. Recently however, we saw a post about soe training going on in the turbine hall. literally...
