Whitebirk Power Station demolition, 1983
Down to earth with a bang!
One of the cooling towers at Whitebirk Power Station is demolished in May 1983.
On the left you can see the base of a second tower which had already been brought down.
The site was being cleared and would become a major retail unit on the border of Blackburn and Hyndburn.
