hilldweller Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thorpe Marsh, Barnby Dun, Doncaster ? Thorpe Marsh station was demolished some time ago although the six cooling towers were still standing when Google Maps was photographed. When we lived by the Bole Hills we could clearly see Eggborough, Ferrybridge and Drax stations. I think only one of the 3 stations at Ferrybridge is still operational but I believe a lot of the cooling towers still exist. On a clear day can you see much condensation above the towers. I've worked at Eggborough but I can't remember how many towers it had. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It is Thorpe Marsh I think. It's the right direction and there are six of them. Google streetviews On a clear day I can make out a horizon behind them. (Unless its a trick of the light) I'm yet to work out where that would be. I tried to work it out from the contour lines but I didn't have much success. Any suggestions as to where the high ground is behind there ?

I still think that there are more than 6 towers on that photo, the heat haze makes it difficult but some of them look too wide to be a single tower. Anyway you will soon know as according to the Erbex forum last report (May 2011), the demolition men were already back on site and clearing around the tower bases prior to the application of a bit of HE. Keep looking and if they keep disappearing like 6 green bottles, then you are correct. There seems to be quite a bit of foreground that could be identified and with an OS map and a 12 inch rule you should be able to pinpoint the direction. Keep looking and don't fall off the chair. HD P. S. When we lived nearby in Mona Avenue if you stood at the top of the garden and looked with binoculars, you could see the gantries and cranes of Goole Docks.

HD Best I can tell is that it's North Eastish. I'll get a compass and check it properly. I'll be looking every morning from now on HD. Binoculars polished and ready Mona is amateur.
