Ironbridge 'B' Power Station - June 2016

Introduction


I was about to pop up a report from Ironbridge, in my usual style, just before TBM put his excellent report up from here last week. I was put off a little by this as it seems almost pointless putting up a report straight after sombody else has, covering the same areas on the same site, right? I was going to leave it, like I have done my Redcar reports, but I've decided to try something a little different instead. It might not be everyones cup of tea, I'm not even sure if it's my cup of tea yet but I thought I'd throw a few of my favourite pics from here together in a short gallery of six images.

I've spent a while properly black and white processing these images and gotten a few prints done, which isn't something I do usually been a fan of colour photography, but personally I'm quite impressed with how these have come out, so I thought they'd be worth a share! It's nothing that we haven't seen already from an exploring point of view, just a different take on the site for once.

I can't remember where I read it, but somebody, somewhere said that this place could quite possibly become the next 'Inverkip' which seems possible, so, before images of this place becomes too saturated, here's a few from me...

And don't worry, this is a one off, my future reports will be straight back to my traditional style, and in full colour!

Finally, a big thanks to @AndyK for giving me heads up on what's what before arriving on site :)

I've got plenty more from here, and to be fair, I imagine I'll be returing. It's a really nice station is Ironbridge, one of my favourites for sure.

I hope you liked this short album anyway, and if not tough shit really, it's only a one off!
Cheers for reading,
TAW :)

They are good shots. Theres always room for another report from the power stations, this is one of the most touristy and still hasn't been totally covered, I dont think the 'mainstream' have quite caught on to them yet. (It was me that said it would turn out like Inverkip but then that guy went to the paper, they put up a heras fence and i think people have been scared off a little over nothing, usually the way it works!)
