Cooling Towers at Fiddler's Ferry Demolished Amidst Fog

Spectators struggled to see through the fog as they witnessed the demolition of Fiddler's Ferry power station towers.

Since launching in 1973, the Cheshire facility became a prominent feature on the landscape and powered nearly two million homes at its peak.

During the destruction of half its cooling towers, residents reminisced about playing football nearby. The 2020 shutdown of the station aligns with the UK’s goal to phase out coal power by 2025.
