Plymouth 'B' was built by the Central Electricity Generating Board, and was completed in 1951.

It housed three 30megawatt turbo alternators and was in service until 1981 when it was put into reserve & later demo'd in 1992...

Plymouth Power Station

Nice explore, lots of sprinkler pipework still in place.
Looks identical to the old Llynfi Power Station except no cooling towers needed.

Think you need some wellies,lol.
 
great explore and thanks to the nameless :)

thats water very clear, very still. untill you walked through it, the soft silt like stuff on the bottom moved and the vis went from great to shit.

still worth it tho :)

here is some of mine.

:jimlad:Very interesting report with a good bit of history too.
Some good photos there. In particular, I like the last shot with the extra secure door frame. Probably some of the coolest chimneys I've seen on a Power Station site too -can't beat a bit of brickwork :cool:
Thanks for sharing! :)
