Title: Use railway to demolish Ironbridge Power Station, says councillor Post by: Lee on April 13, 2019, 08:55:01 https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/telford/ironbridge/2019/04/13/use-railway-to-demolish-ironbridge-power-station-says-councillor/
Quote from: Shropshire Star The railway should be used to remove parts of Ironbridge Power Station taken down in its demolition, a councillor has claimed. Councillor Nicola Lowery, representative for the Ironbridge Gorge on Telford & Wrekin Council, has also spoken about how the removal of the cooling towers which currently dominate the gorge landscape, will have a significant impact. Her comments came after Harworth, which bought the site from Juniper last year, announced it had appointed a contractor to demolish the site ahead of plans for redevelopment which will include houses and commercial space. The demolition is expected to start in late spring.
