Huncoat Powerstation 02/09

I've passed this place countless times and always wanted to have a look...
After being reminded about the place by another photographer I was inspired, after a couple of recce's I decided a full urbex was needed... Me and my bro JimmyTunn went up there one frosty Febuary morning...

The building is open on all sides, with a huge lack of doors and windows, The building is in a sorry state, several rooms are flooded and pretty much everything has been smashed to bits... They have them new fancy "powdered toilets" (just add water?)

You'll notice in one of the final shots... two guys... Whilst Jimmy was shooting with his rollei downstairs I went for a look upstairs, I heared voices from outside as I peeped out I noticed five guys walking towards us with hard hats and visi vests... Turns out after a discussion with them, they were contractors... The building is scheduled for demolition... Sadly it's going to make way for a new road...

We'd put of this urbex for so long, how prominent we turned up on the day it's scheduled to be levelled...

edit:

Nice pics matey

Love those rooflights made out of glass blocks. Sounds like you got in there just in time. Another building documented before it's gone forever.

Thanks for sharing,

Nice to see your report, and thanks for the comment on my website!

Despite being a very easy explore, it's not always accessible. I've visited four times but only been in twice, due to Police presence. Probably about time it was pulled down though!
