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...

a few pics of the station in the early 90's (credit to cyberheritage)
onto our exploration of the remaining buildings......
an interesting site, with underground cable tunnels (flooded in many parts) scotty and myself had a shoes and socks off moment to explore futher....we both ended up soaking wet, stinking and i'd drowned my mobile and killed it all good!
thanks all for a great nite, myself and scotty did a reccy for another site nearby after this explore, and a report for that will be up in due course!.... great nite
