Buildwas Cooling Towers

The Power Station is now redundant , and very soon this landmark will be demolished . I will be sorry to see them go as they are so much part of the landscape !

Looks a lovely spot to be beside the river it will look a little bare but perhaps prettier when they have gone.

I prefer seeing the river making its way along the tree lined path without those towers. But I guess one gets used to them and the place will not be the same without them.

How sad that they are to be removed. Should be like our disused silos and get beautiful murals painted on them :)

[Lou Ann]

I like the shimmer on the water and the brick towers’ exteriors have a pretty aged patina. Why are they coming down?

Cool shot and great pov. It's sad to see landmarks go.

[Margaret Brown]

A nice capture, they are so imposing, you don’t realise how big they are until you see them up close.

I always love the shape and grandeur of these industrial icons. I can understand how you feel, Beryl. Fav.

[carol white]

Nicely captured. We lost our cooling towers many years ago

[Pat Knowles]

Rather an elegant shape Beryl....that view will be so different!

How are you going to get power now? What a waste of all that cost of building etc!

[Steve Pooley]

Always thought they were blots on the landscape but as you get used to them and their symmetry now think they should stay and these work well with the natural landscape in the foreground

[KoalaGardens🐨]

be good to see that go

[Pyrrhula]

Even ugly structures you get use to it. But can understand as the become a part of the landscape.
( I alway`s wander, if we did n`t have those old windmills was I allowed to build one now? )

[Islandgirl]
