ARCHIVE - ICI Thornton Power Station (Blackpool) - 2008
 
Hi, this is my first report, I hope you like the pictures. One of my first solo explores, and quite cool it was too. This is a great site, with much to see outside of the main buildings too, some of this I didn't cover on the day. Some great photography to be had too, and good views from the higher floors. Loads of machinery, boilers, turbines and the like, and some offices, staff area's etc.
There's surely some asbestos here, so a decent mask is a must

(note : having just reviewd the photo's that I posted here, it's worth mentioning if you are considering seeing this place, that there is much more in the way of machinery here than it looks like in the picutres...... it is a power station after all ! lol )

anyways, here are the pics, let me know what you think of them :-
