Was loosely watching “I Was a Teenage Werewolf” with dad while making this. Freakin’ bonkers movie, I’m tellin’ ya, lol.
Commissioned by the Central Electricity Generating Board and built between 1962 to 1968, this is Ferrybridge C Power Station in West Yorkshire. The ‘C’ Station was the third power station to be built at Ferrybridge.
Ferrybridge C had a capacity of 2 GW from four x 500 MW generating sets supplied by CA Parsons. The CEGB chose Ferrybridge to trail the new 500 MW units, the world’s first single-line turbo generator sets of this size.
In addition to the main generating units, Ferrybridge C Power Station was built with four gas turbines with a combined capacity of 68 MW. Two of the four gas turbines were retired in the late 1990s, reducing their capacity to 34 MW.
The cooling water for these was drawn from the River Aire and after circulating through the power station, was cooled using the station’s 8 cooling towers. The towers were 115m high. The plant had two 198m chimneys.
In 2013 SSE announced the station would opt out of the EU Industrial Emissions Directive. Ferrybridge C generated its last electricity on 23rd March 2016.
Earlier this year the first of these towers was bought down using explosive demolition and this picture was taken the night before the other four towers were bought down simultaneously to leave the final three towers still standing for their future plans.
