Ironbridge, Shropshire, UK. 6th December 2019. Explosives are used to demolish four cooling towers of the decommissioned Ironbridge Power Station near to the world famous industrial heritage town in Shropshire. The cooling towers were deliberately constructed using concrete to which a red pigment had been added, to blend with the colour of the local soil. This had cost £11,000 in the 1960s. The former coal burning power station site is due to be developed for housing, a retirement centre, and industrial units.
