Hi, I realise these have been done quite a few time before, but I'm new, and this is my first report, so be nice :)

As I live pretty close to these, so I would love to go back when I have a bit more time, and maybe take a tripod. Then again I was pretty lucky with the light, and the remaining snow/ ice making the photos a little more interesting.

History:
Built in the 1950s, privatised and sold to the National Power in the early 1990s, closed in the mid 1990s. The 5 cooling towers are still standing, 2 of which have been stripped out from the inside.

Photos:

I think I went in a slightly different way from most people, because I didn't meey any sheep, just big puddles.

Last but one shot is the winner for me! Cheers for sharing them :)
