Willington Cooling Towers August 2013

[mookster]

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 cooling towers anywhere in the UK, they are all that remains of the old Willington Power Station which was demolished ages ago.

Evading the car boot salers next door we were in, and then it started to rain...which in a mostly exposed site like this isn't too fun but we persevered...

I'd been waiting so long to see this place and it definitely didn't disappoint despite the adverse weather!
