Tilbury Power Station - Sepia

A moody shot across the Thames of Tilbury Power Station in Essex.

On the footplate

This is a view of the footplate of the steam engine 60163 Tornado taken during a water stop at Headcorn, Kent earlier this year.

I like the way the glow of the fire reflects on the fireman's face.

My son was lucky enough to be invited up to have a quick look on the footplate.

Chimneys at Northfleet Cement Works

This is the most viewed picture on my Flickr account. I don't know why. People just seem to like it for some reason.

The chimneys at the former Blue Circle / Lafarge Northfleet Cement Works which were demolished by controlled explosions last year to make way for (another) new housing estate.

For more information and pictures of the demolition, please see the following posts on my sister blog....
