This song & video of this power station go together perfect ! but on the contrary this is another power plant lost some years after privatisation , another load of job losses thanks to thatcher. built 1950s - opened 1959 - privatised 1990 - closed 2003 - demolished in stages 2004 - 2006 - 2012 - end of road. disgraceful , if this industry was still nationalised i believe this plant along with many others would still be here today in use with a few closing in a few years time & not 20 years ago !
I've heard that it was considered at one time to have a Coal Mine beside this Station. Didn't happen obviously and now we don't have a Coal Industry. Jeremy Corbyn met with Ms Thunberg and Caroline Lucss and pledged that a future Labour government will address Green Energy concerns however in that same week a Labour controlled council in Cumbria approved planning for the proposed new Drift Coal Mine under the Irish Sea. Contradictory messages in the public domain it would seem to me.
