A few days after my very wet first visit, we returned in blazing sunshine for a second potter about - even took a packed lunch this time 
My gf is a big fan of Downfallen's pictures, so she wanted me to take this:
The very dry atmosphere and no scavengers means dead pigeons just fossilise:
A pair of giant flues:
A plumbing diagram of this place must be incredible:
Looking down one of the open spaces:
And looking even further down - we were standing on the 56.5m level, and that red floor is on the 4m level.
The roof is much more pleasant in the sunshine (and without a police boat buzzing about):
And all the way down to the ground floor:
The controls for an overhead hoist:
In the laboratory area, there are lots of taps for sampling water from different parts of the plant:
The only plants we found inside the building seem to like sulphuric acid:
Up onto the gantry, we felt very exposed - especially as those radiators on the turbine floor had an inspection note less than a month old on them:
I climbed up into one of the crane cabs:
And walked along the crane to a view down into the turbine hall:
Searching for the control room, we found the battery backup rooms:
Unfortunately the control room itself was securely locked up:
I tried stitching a panorama on the roof - a strange result, but quite cool
And from the gantry, two of the turbines:
As usual, lots more pictures are in my Flickr set...
