Its been a long, long time since my last post on here. I've been out of the scene for a while but hoping to get back into it and out on a few more explores over the summer.
Thorpe Marsh Power station, no doubt featured several times before on here, is my local go to relaxed explore. Theres not a huge amount to see there but after this visit I thought I'd provide a bit of an update as demolition of the cooling towers is looking like a strong possibility with most of the other shells of buildings having already been removed.
Wide view of the remaining cooling towers on approach to the site.
A view looking up at one of the cooling towers this one had one of the Large metal wires running between 2 holes right through the centre. They weren't there last time and It looks like someone was foolishly trying to demolish it this way...
Inside one of the abandoned towers
A view of the metal rope running from either end of the tower and the tear mark it has left in the side of the tower. Scary to look at from the inside...
Machinery on site for demolition purposes, the old digger had now been removed.
Thorpe Marsh Power Station was abandoned in 1994 The site is now currently being partly used as an electricity substation and the majority of the main Power Station buildings have been knocked down. All that remains is one large storage building with nothing inside and the 6 Huge Cooling Towers in all their glory. I’ve visited this site a good handful of times now and each an every time I see the towers in the distance upon my approach i get goose bumps. There is something really appealing about the sheer size of these things and being able to relatively freely walk around them.
I have a few photos from previous visits on my website here: http://www.benscamera.com/urbex/Thorpe_Marsh_Power_Station_Urbex_01.html
if you care to take a look and I'll post some of the past visits on here over the next few weeks.
If anyone wants to hook up for a few visits in the future send me a message.
Its good to be back
