Lostock Power Station - November 2015

[-Raz-]

I Wont go into much detail as it's been posted a few times recently so here's a brief bit of history:​

 ​

Bowman Thompson & Company originally owned the site but was sold in 1900 to Brunner Mond whom with a seven year closure reconstructed the site producing sixty tonnes of soda ash a day. This figure rose to 800 tonnes a day in 1926 with all of the Brunner Mond assets being turned over to ICI. Lostock a coal fired powerstation was decommissioned in 2000 when E.ON built there new Combined Heat & Power plant at Winnington, Lostock is due to be flattened for a new Sustainable Energy Plant to be built on the site.​

Smashing set.

That place seems to be kind of popular, but I can understand that. I'd go there immediately if it would be closer to where I live.
