    Arrow Thorpe Marsh Power Station, Doncaster. Jul 2010

    Well this has been on my "to do" list for some time and recently I, at long last, got my ass down there.

    Weather was bright which was nice but did make for pesky high contrast scenes.

    Save covering old ground as regards the history of the place here is what wikipedia has to say on the place.

    If you haven't been here .... go ... really go now. It's quite an experience being stood in the middle of one of the huge cooling towers - outside of the tower there was a very moderate breeze ... inside I was getting buffeted something rotten. Also the echo effect is quite impressive.

    It was strange on arriving it didn't really grab me as an explore ... but it grew as time went by and finished up loving the place and looking forward to a re -visit. Anyhoo enough waffle time for the piccies:





























    Full sets can be seen here and here

    Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed.

    Those pictures are very nice, and it is a really great place to visit. Everytime I see cooling towers now, it is nice to know what it is like to stand inside.

    thanks everyone. Aye it's quite some experience being stood in the middle of one of those Box. I'd recommend it to everyone - explorer or not - quite a humbling experience too.

    Something nice about doing a place like that solo too I feel
