This is Hartshead Power Station control centre, closed in 1979 and still around today. The main cooling towers and other buildings are gone but there is still much to see.

The fence is well patched up for its age and because of the still very much operational large substation, this site should be treated with caution.

The cool sky lift coal tram and loading sheds are still there to see.

Some info

"" These extensive, disused and derelict sites are situated within the Tame valley and Green Belt between Heyrod and Millbrook. Although the majority of the power station buildings west of the river were demolished around 1989 and the site basically levelled, unsightly debris and base structures are still present. ""
