Past power

This was Fettykil power-station visited back in 2012 was a nice place to see but has since been demolished with only the main chimney sitting in a field of mud. So would not waste your time as only the newer biomass replacement there.

not a very big place but a lovely and interesting site to visit

Great set there, well done. Love industrial places, shame it's gone now.

Epic stuff!

A splore of the purest kind. High quality stuff, enjoyed this one!

That is absolutely fantastic, love it!

I like a bit of pipe porn

Proper Job, Thanks

Excellent photographs. I like the vintage (now they are) computers.

Quality post, like Hugh said lovely bit of old computer and control. I wonder what they're going to do with the chimney.

That's a good question was strange

I really hope someone had the sense to offer a couple of those P4000 units to the National Computer museum. In the 1980's they were state of the art but I'll bet there isn't a working one left now. In the day they were used by the Philips Megadoc document management system which cost £85,000. Documents were stored on an optical videodisc which could store whole gigabyte of data. According to New Scientist the system could retrieve a single page in as little as 30 seconds
