Going..... ....and now gone.
It's not every day that I get the chance to capture a view for posterity, but I did just that here. These are two of the four giant red cooling towers at Ironbridge Power Station, and they are destined for demolition in the very near future. By way of complete contrast the railway line I am standing on is going to to be reopened as part of the Ironbridge Power Station redevelopment.
So, if I did try to take this same shot in a couple of year's time the towers would be gone and there is a chance I would get run over by a train.
Although this is such a great place for B&W, I just had to retain the red colour of the cooling towers as they are such a landmark.
...and today at 11am 6th December 2019, they were blown up, and have disappeared into a big red pile of rubble.
