Iconic Towers to Tumble
Iconic Towers to Tumble
The Ironbridge Power Stations pink cooling towers are set to be demolished next year, dashing the hopes of many residents to keep one as a relic of the age.
The rest of the site is set to be flattened too.
Meanwhile, here are some super pics that many will not have seen before of the inner workings of the place.

I suppose it’s going to be turned into another faceless development.

I’ve been living in Telford now for a year and me and my wife love seeing the towers, such a focal point in the sky line, such a shame for them to go. Won’t be the same not seeing them. ☹️
While they’re at it, why don’t they scrap that rusty bit of iron across the Gorge and replace it with something more suitable for the 21st century traffic?
its a shame they cant be turned into a venue or summat then they could survive..
Sold by e-on to another part of e-on
No doubt for houses that working people can’t afford . Then priceing the young an local people from the area
As a frequent visitor to Ironbridge, I think it’s a shame a focal point of character is being destroyed. Does anyone have a date for the planned demolition?
Can it not be listed?
They could use the bricks from one and build one in blist hill smaller one like that

Weird, stick them in someone’s backyard there is uproar, put them down the road from a World heritage site, not a problem. Blow em up I say!
Sorry don’t see it, I think they are an eyesore, will not be sorry to see them go.
A real shame.
