Fiddlers Ferry Morning glory

A shot of Fiddlers Ferry coal powered power station taken from our works car park just as the sun was peeking behind one of the eight towers.
With its eight 114-metre (374 ft) high cooling towers and 200-metre (660 ft) high chimney the power station is a prominent landmark and can be seen from as far away as the Peak District and the Pennines especially to those of us who use it a sighting for other things in the area.
The pub on the other side of the road is called the Eight Towers and Fiddlers Ferry is famous among other things as having one of the station's cooling towers collapse on 13 January 1984, due to the freak high winds of that winter. It has since been rebuilt.
16,000 tonnes of coal are burned each day. mainly brought in from Liverpool port (imports) and some may still be supplied from the Yorkshire mines (unsure this still goes on) It also burns biofuels together with the coal.

Fiddlers Ferry has been fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant to reduce the emissions of sulphur by 94%,
