The towers of the former Trinity Methodist Church and Carnegie Arts Centre dominate Lismore Place in Workington. The church retains only the tower and facade with the main building replaced by a new structure containing assisted living flats. The Carnegie Theatre and Arts Centre is one of Workington's much-loved buildings. The Foundation Stone for the 'Carnegie Free Library & Lecture Hall' was laid by his Worship The Mayor, Alderman R E Highton on Thursday 10 September 1903. The building opened on Thursday 6 October 1904 following a donation of £7,500 from Andrew Carnegie. It is now run by a charitable trust.

Fiddlers Ferry from Daresbury Firs back in the days when it made a large contribution to the national grid. So sad to see this power station closed down and silent.

Peter Street, Manchester. The furthest two towers are on Quay Street beyond Deansgate.

The Tinsley cooling towers were 76 metres high and the last remaining features of the former Blackburn Meadows power station. They were demolished in August 2008 and now there is even less of interest to be seen from the M1 (seen here on a viaduct in front of the towers).

My favourite power station, this time viewed across the Mersey from Daresbury Firs.

When I visited Hatfield Main there were several power stations visible from the spoil tips. This is Eggborough with a long cloud emanating from the cooling towers.
