Loss of Power

Here, I am seen pictured in front of the gates to the old Coventry Power Station on the outskirts of Alderman's Green, near Hawkesbury Junction.

 

The power station is long gone and the gates, pylons and substation are all that remain. The land there is now forgotten and unloved, except for the sparsely distributed plyons. It was a coal-fired power station, relatively medium in size and coal shipments came by boats from the Oxford Canal which ran alongside.

 

It is possible to get through the other side of these gates through gaps in the fence along the canal towpath but there isn't a great deal there in all honesty.
