Report - Derwent & Spondon H (Celanese) Power Station

[Exploring with Andy]

Did you go inside at Derwent? We walked into the control room and the TV was on with no sign of whoever was watching it.

No, I wouldn't mind a nosey in there to be honest, but from a reccie about a year ago we were aware that security are based around there, probably in that building, so we gave that one a miss. After reading about your 'adventure' there, I'm glad we didn't try - a repeat of that isn't something I'd have liked!

Nice one man. I know you have put a lot of effort into this, glad to see its all paid off in the end.

 

[PopPunkJamie]

Good work dude, all that persistence finally paid off!

It was definitely exciting.. But I'd happily not have to do it again. I've been back a couple of times since to check if the power was off yet. Last summer the transmission gear wasn't live any more, so maybe the power is off now, I'm not sure when you went.

Have you by any chance had a look at Kings Lynn or Peterborough?

Awesome mate, and congrats on your hard work paying off!

My last visit was quite recent, and the power was still on.

I've reccied Kings Lynn, but wasn't aware of Peterborough. Will look into that, thanks
