    Arrow Thorpe Marsh Power Station, Barnaby Dun, S Yorks Nov '09

    Welcome to Thorpe March readers, or rather the remains of it. Built in 1959, this coal fired beast supplied electricity to the National Grid until the mid 1990's. Today much of the buildings have long gone, leaving behind the thrilling explore of six cooling towers. And some railway lines.
    Last train to Orange County


    I've wanted to visit here for ages, and to see inside these massive towers.


    The only non cooling tower buildings on site are the remains of two ash slurry hoppers. The late autumn sunlight made for some nice silhouettes. Being one of the worst climbers in the UK today, I remained firmly on the rubble.


    Inside a couple of the towers were the remains of a walkway. The picture on the left shows the doorway to access it, the stairs long cut away.

    This part was very good too. Beneath my feet was a flooded coal hopper.


    Staircase into the flooded coal hopper. I don't know what the thing is under the water. A cement mixer? Sadly I had forgotten my trunks.


    Definitely worth a visit if you have not been already. A shot I took of the decommissioned power station at night.
