An aerial view of Didcot coal fired power station showing the cooling towers and huge chimney as well as the turbine hall.


An aerial view giving a general overview of the whole power station complex showing the six cooling towers and the monstrous chimney alongside the massive Turbine hall and boilers housed in one building with a coal supply railway line running the entire circumference of the site which is now empty and awaiting demolition. The smaller chimneys towards the back are the modern "Gas fired" turbines and their associated buildings and National grid equipment for energy distribution throughout the country. the three cooling towers at the front of the picture were demolished on 27-07-2014 And the huge building housing turbines and boilers is well under way in the demolition process at this time with only half the width of the building remaining 12-12-2015.
