Visited 8th May 2012, a new perimeter fence has been installed and I found no less than 3 large diggers breaking apart the remaining structures and carting away debris. I&#8217;d say about 40% of the site has been cleared, the chimney \/ tower still stands despite reports that it was due for demolition. I can only assume this had been delayed due to logistical reasons or technical issues in relation to the demolition.<\/p>\n<p>A view looking up at one of the cooling towers this one had one of the large metal cables running between 2 holes right through the centre. They weren\u2019t there last time and It looks like someone was foolishly trying to demolish it this way\u2026<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve\u00a0made it this far\u2026 thanks for reading \/ checking out the pictures.
