After a pleasant afternoon with HughieDW I did a few easy explores on my own & this place was number 6 of the day (yeah I like to cram em in)
The cooling towers are the only remnants of Willington power station that was demolished some years ago. Plans have been submitted & refused on various new industrial developments & the site sits as it was left following demo.
Been done to death I know & not really much to see but what a place!
The scale of these id difficult to comprehend until you have stood under them its awe inspiring.
Its also excellent for photography & I was blessed with good light so done the best I could. Enjoy

Quite something those and can get near them regardless.
Do they echo inside?
 
they do echo if you bang a piece of metal pipe inside them, got some amazing sounds made inside one a couple of years back

It's all to do with the frequency and sound levels of the source - The curved shape of the reflecting surfaces means that some frequencies get cancelled out, whilst others are amplified. Did a lot of work inside the High Marnham one's when the site was operational. Lovely job on a hot summer's day, very crap on a freezing winter one!
