Ferrybridge CC #3

631 Decade of Change Single Image

This image shows the last cricket game played at Ferrybridge C Power Station, West Yorkshire, before several of the cooling towers were demolished in 2019.  Britain intends to phase out all its remaining coal power stations by 2025.  While the demolition marks an important step forward in the implementation of a cleaner energy strategy, change of this kind has also brought significant cultural and economic loss to many industrial communities.  Local landscapes have been transformed, as these iconic structures become obsolete.
