The date for the demolition of the three southern cooling towers at Oxfordshire's Didcot A Power Station has been confirmed by RWE Npower as happening on July 27th. The implosion will take place on the Sunday morning and it is expected to take no more than a minute for the towers to come down.
The coal-fired power station was closed down in March 2013, but has been a part of the local community for the past 43 years. When the towers come down next month it will mark a significant change to the landscape, and is certain to be a day filled with memories for those who used to work there or have lived near the station for any length of time.
Once the site has been cleared completely new owners Clowes Developments plans to redevelop the site for both commercial and residential use.
