Old coal powerstation.
Comissioned 1973, decomissioned 2002.
Demolition started May 2005 through to June 2006.

40m high (~125ft) boilers.
139m high (~325ft [?]) stacks.

Awesome place. The cooling towers are totally wooden, and house a family of cats..
There are generators lying askew, their carapaces removed or dismantled.
Most of it is still lit by struggling fluros, and wires dangle around every corner. From the roof, you can see the old cooling lake, now half-dry, and another smaller station, and a steaming gas plant across another lake....
