The Explore Wanted to see these things for a long time, for some strange reason they have always scared me, think its just the sheer size of them! They didnt disappoint for me and really enjoyed wandering around the massive towers in some unusual February sunshine :) The History In the...

So most of you have seen this location before if you havent been already... but here's my take on the place. Explored with Raz & Jord Bit of background; Stolen from the internet and i cant remember where :ugeek: Willington Power Station was in fact two, almost entirely separate...

Willington Cooling Towers The Explore Stopped off here with Fatpanda and Raz a few weeks ago on the way home from our primary targets and the sheer size of them amazed me. I would highly recommend giving these an hour of your time if you're ever in the area. The echo was crazy too, I spent...

I Was unsure on if I should post a report on this but thought I would throw a short one together. If you are in the area I would advise popping over even though there's only the cooling towers left its pretty cool to be stood inside one! :cool: Visited with Fat Panda & Hamtagger...

I think most people know the history of this place. It was a power station in Willington (Derbyshire) until the final part closed in late 90's and was subsequently demolished. The only thing left standing now is the 5 cooling towers and the nearby sub station. There isnt a huge amount to see...

We stopped off here on the way back from the DRI. I have seen them many times from a distance but this was he first time I had seen them close up. They were a lot bigger than I thought. There are five towers in total and they are all that remains from both Willington A & Willington B Power...

So with my car off the road for now and desperation for possibly the last explore of 2013, I did a call around and finally found someone to drive us. Ben picked me up at 8:30am and we went to pick up other Ben at about 9. Destination: a college in the midlands. We decided to go further North...

Well I thought my year was all done and dusted for explores but a week ago Mr. Landie Man gets on it and says do you want to go for a trip on the 28th...and so we did. We eventually got going with him and a non-member in tow, Willington being the first call as neither of them had seen it and...

So today I FINALLY got out exploring again, after what seemed like an interminable wait. My good friend contacted me yesterday evening to say he could escape the wife for the day and so off we poddled! Willington was the first stop, there is certainly no better or bigger group of derelict...

I've always wanted to visit the towers at sunset to see how the colour of the light bounces around inside the towers I was on my way past so decided to pop in I've lifted a few covers for the utility tunnels in a hope that during all this hot weather the water level drops enough to have a...

Another explore with the long suffering,again,she declined the excitement,and remained in the car!! Tiny bit of info:Cooling Towers from the old power station that shut in 1999.The towers are 300 feet high..218 feet in diameter at base..145 feet in diameter at the top and 122 feet in diameter...
