if anything it looked spookier in real life - but that's how it was, with a bank of fog lingering. Lunch time today.

Y'know you can see the steam from those damn towers from where I work in Cowley. Didcot really does haunt me!

It haunts the whole region ... but I believe the end is nigh. I saw a report on the TV that said is due to be decommissioned in the near future. I think he was talking in the next four or five years. I guess then it will become housing?

kevin mccloud could have a field day with it if that was the case

I thought you'd done something clever with the photo. Now I know it's real I'm even more impressed.
You could make really cool apartments in the cooling towers. (for slightly mad people with curvy minds)

my on/off gf once played a (classical) concert in one of them. She said it was a wonderful space. I imagine the dusting before a gig might also be a bit tedious.
Be good places for a press launch of something, afashion show, a rock concert etc...

Maybe they could turn it into something Didcot really needs? Like Something To Do?

Oh who am I kidding, all Didcot really needs is demolishing.
