Looks like Tower 2B the one adjacent to the last one they felled (is
it the one at the end of the row of four, furthest north west?)

Confusing pics though. That building just this side of the felled
tower looks a lot like the ash bunkers but if it is then its in the
wrong place! I had heard they had demolished that structure some
time ago.

I passed by on the A1 a few weeks back and despite one tower being
gone it still looked like it used to a couple of years ago, a virtue
of the compact layout in a letter C wrapped round the main buildings
so the coal pillar left under the site was as small as possible. I
even pulled over to make sure one had really gone. Guess with twp
now gone it will be much more obvious now.


I will be out that way in the morning. I'll take some photos.

Is the timescale for the remaining towers a bit more hurried than
the first two?


No idea ATM.


I did not go to work there this morning.
