hi all, this is my first post so i hope it is all well and good. it features the now demolished drakelow powerstation which was once the largest powerstation in europe .
myself and noisemetalrich went along for a look back in 2006 during its demolition. we also attended a permitted tour with powergen staff not long after it closed in 2003, these pics i will post shortly.
enjoy.....
