„Richborough Power Station“

from the gallery of Alice Gosling
Description:

18 hours before demolition.

The towers were built in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and entered service in 1962 as a 342MW coal-fired station. It was converted to oil in 1971 and has remained largely vacant since being decommissioned in 1996.

Controlled blasts levelled three 318ft (97m) cooling towers and a single 416ft (127m) chimney stack on 11 March 2012. An iconic landscape lost forever.
