Once a key part of London’s power network, Barking Power Station B stood on the Thames as a symbol of post-war industry and growth. Commissioned in the late 1950s and coming online in stages during the early 1960s, it was built to meet soaring electricity demand across the capital, working...

The Power Station opened in 1921. As a former coal-fired power station, later converted to natural gas, which closed in 2007 due to high CO2 emissions.

Bit of a delay in getting this one done. A new PC and a load of work going on at home resulting in me not knowing where half of my possessions are isn't great for getting photos edited. These are from a trip from back in 2024 which somehow feels like yesterday, and ages ago at the same time...

Willington Power Station Sports & Social Club aka The Chimneys, Derbyshire - August 2025 An old social club along Twyford Road in Willington which originally catered for employees of Willington A and B power stations. I guess by the time ‘Willington B’ closed in 1999 it dropped the ‘power...

A power station we visited during our trip to Italy. It was commissioned in the 60s, closed in the 2010s, and sported two Brown Boveri turbines. Not much else to say, the history is just like all of the other power stations in Italy or anywhere in Europe - at some point the fuel and emission...

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything here! After a recent trip around the lands of the former Austro-Hungarian empire with @Camera Shy & @Cloth Head, I've got the enthusiasm to actually go through roughly 10 years of sites and actually get some reports done. First up was a small...

One of my favourite places.

This is actually a repost/redo of my first 28DL report from 2020. It disappeared a few years ago when a bunch of reports got lost, so I'm posting it again since it was my first report and, in fact, my first proper power station. Plus now that the power station has been razed to the ground I can...

Completed my first urban explore yesterday at a disused power station in Merseyside. It was a solo trip just me and the camera and im really happy with some of the shots I got, especially with it been my first trip. Have added some of the pictures I got. If anyone has any suggestions of places...

This is one of the highlights of our trip to Italy this year. It's an old hydroelectric power station. I couldn't find any history. It seems to have been built in the 1920s or 30s, but I'm not sure. It has been out of commission for a while, judging by the level of decay and the lack of any...
