The cooling towers .

These are the towers of the Buildwas Power Station, Ironbridge . which has now closed down and the workmen are there to dismantle the whole site ! The power station was built in the mid '60s and at that time my late husband was working for the Civil Engineering firm that built the site - so in a way I feel quite attached to the huge towers and shall miss them from the landscape .

I can understand how you would have a sense of attachment to these towers, the demolishing of them is a removal of a physical reminder. I'm sure though that unlike your memories these towers will be forgotten about in time.

When I see nuclear power plant towers I think of our disastrous Love Canal meltdown. I'm so glad they have found better power solutions for us all. It is a shame there is not a way to re-purpose the towers for another use, though.

The towers will be missed having been there so long and a landmark for many and your special memories are saved in your great photographs Beryl.

A super capture. Fav!! 😀. All of our cooling towers were blown up years ago. I remember taking the kids to watch. It was quite an event

Nice capture, they may be large, but they are part of our industrial heritage and it seems a shame to see them all go.

Great capture of those impressing towers. A pitty there is no use for them anymore. But good they are dismantle after use.

I can't imagine how you dismantle something so huge! great to have a record of them before they go

Cool capture, Beryl. Nothing ever stays the same. I guess it's progress. I understand, though, as I have missed things of the past, too.

Interesting shapes. Feels very sci-fi.

Spooky -- seems so alien looking.
