So most of you have seen this location before if you havent been already... but here's my take on the place.
Explored with Raz & Jord
Bit of background;
Stolen from the internet and i cant remember where :ugeek:
Willington Power Station was in fact two, almost entirely separate...
I Was unsure on if I should post a report on this but thought I would throw a short one together. If you are in the area I would advise popping over even though there's only the cooling towers left its pretty cool to be stood inside one!
:cool: Visited with Fat Panda & Hamtagger...
I think most people know the history of this place. It was a power station in Willington (Derbyshire) until the final part closed in late 90's and was subsequently demolished. The only thing left standing now is the 5 cooling towers and the nearby sub station.
There isnt a huge amount to see...
Visited with some friends from the Netherlands at the end of October, we had planned to make a day of visiting HF4 but we were thwarted in our efforts to get into the main power station so we settled for the cooling towers at HF4 and IM (and a couple of other sites too). Both of these are huge...
This disused power station was once a coal-fired monster. Owned by Belgium's Electrobel it was mothballed in the early 2000s and then finally taken out of service in 2006 and is currently being demolished. With demolition well under way this might be the last we see of this beast. The cooling...
We stopped off here on the way back from the DRI. I have seen them many times from a distance but this was he first time I had seen them close up. They were a lot bigger than I thought.
There are five towers in total and they are all that remains from both Willington A & Willington B Power...
Well I thought my year was all done and dusted for explores but a week ago Mr. Landie Man gets on it and says do you want to go for a trip on the 28th...and so we did.
We eventually got going with him and a non-member in tow, Willington being the first call as neither of them had seen it and...
IM COOLING TOWER
Visited with members Chaos and non member Markymark
This was a small part of our little long weekend European Derp tour.
After a decent nights sleep in a campsite, a hot shower and belly full of Belgian wangers, beans and eggs we set off early to our first location of the...
Evening all,
Slowly getting up to date with my locations hence being slow with reports.
This was a late July trip with two exploring mates who had never seen Belgium before but have seen the touristy places and like us all, wanted to go and do them. So the three days were a mix of new and old...
So today I FINALLY got out exploring again, after what seemed like an interminable wait. My good friend contacted me yesterday evening to say he could escape the wife for the day and so off we poddled!
Willington was the first stop, there is certainly no better or bigger group of derelict...
Visited here on Day 3 of the trip, second explore of the day, and even got busted for the first time. Didn't stop us getting our shots though, Baron was busy flirting with the Secca and kept him occupied for a few minutes. I did wonder why Baron was on his knees when I came out the Tower...
I've always wanted to visit the towers at sunset to see how the colour of the light bounces around inside the towers
I was on my way past so decided to pop in
I've lifted a few covers for the utility tunnels in a hope that during all this hot weather the water level drops enough to have a...
Hi all,
You probably seen this place a million times but this is a few of mine taken in Feb which include snow inside as it was quite a cold few days.
