The Houses of Parliament are in need of urgent repair and parliament is looking for a new home during the repairs, these would be ideal, just bring in some folding chairs and Bob's your Uncle. One for the House of Commons and one for the Lords, bung the Civil Servants in the others. The bonus is that the towers will once again function as intended, funneling all the hot air away.
Aaah the last remnants of Willington A and Willington B power stations. They are the cooling towers that take the remaining heat from the steam turbine exhaust prior to returning the water to the river or back to the boilers to be reheated back to steam. Pretty much stripped out now, with just the concrete shells remaining. At 3:10 you can see the leftovers of the supports for all the sprinklers and wooden slats that formed the cooling system. It looks like the main feed pipe is still there running from the top into the centre. The water underneath is the cooling pond, where the cooled water collected before being returned to the river.
SINCE ALL THE GENERATING BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN DEMOSISHED IS THERE ANY LOGIC IN LEAVING THE REDUNDANT COOLING TOWERS STILL STAND====== USELESS REMINDER OF AN OLD, PROBABLY COAL-BURNING STATION======= GREAT DRONE WORK=====
Have to say Another awesome video from yourself.....Have you seen the new litchi app for the dji mini 2? it looks amazing i haven't use it yet but im going to try it out tomorrow
Great short video. I remember when this place was active. Still drive past it all the time. I Grew up in Cannock so was used to seeing Rugeley Power Station but that has also gone. Not far from where you filmed is Ratcvliffe Power Station, Still a very active Coal Power Station. Drive past it every week. Keep up the good work
Well, that's the safest possible way of flying out of line of sight. That said, it was pretty courageous to send a drone into what I assume are rebar concrete structures, trusting that it can get enough signal.
I filmed Didcot Power station Cooling Towers with my Drone but they'd removed all the cooling elements at the base of the Towers so had no idea how they worked now I know TY for the upload DJ. I was working next to it Operating a 360 Excavator and filmed days before they Demolished the Station, Drove down to Didcot 6am the morning of the Demo, while still driving down the A34 I see the Towers come down (Gutted) So I had to insert the footage of Demo filmed by the BBC in the middle of my video. When they Demo'd the Towers at Didcot a metal Earthing strip that runs the length of the Tower fell across some power lines cutting the power to over 2700 houses in the area. which can be seen in my video.
it's pretty dramatic watching these things being pulled down, but it would be "cool" if a few were left so that in a 1000 years people can think we worshipped giant cotton reels.
Nice to watch a factual audit with proffesionalisam , and get too see what's inside them for the first time I always seen them curious as to what's inside thank you DJ👍🙂
hi me and my daughter and son in law went to the cooling tower on sunday i look on drone assist it sayed i was in a restricted zone i have the dji mini 2 didnt fly but got on site and walk inside one of the towers and wow, it was so cool i put a video up on youtube, i just like to say i love your videos keep up the good work
Hi Dj, great vid as usual. Nice and smooth. Are you using the DJI app, or Litchi? If the former, give Litchi a try, much better - I’ve been using it with my Mavic for 4 yrs now and love it, especially the waypoint autonomous feature. I think this feature also works with the Mini 1. Regards MM

Awesome views 😃!!! It was a coal station but the towers are indicative of nuclear. I worked in power gen in Canada most of my career and we don’t have those style of cooling towers. If the station has “towers” at all. They’re not really needed when your nuke plants are on some of the largest freshwater lakes in the world 🌎. We (Bruce Power) only recently (Kori, S. Korea-2020) became the second largest Nuke plant in the world (Bruce)… again 😐. Thanks for the fresh perspective 👍
Great footage again DJ, First time seen a drone fly inside cooling tower also looking around surrounding area nice one.💯
They are cooling towers not chimneys. Great footage from inside. I think it cools the water for the steam turbines used to generate the electricity. 👍
Fabulous footage three giant power houses standing love the drone looking down on everything
Thanks it's much appreciated great camara work ♥️
Great video thank you just want to congratulate you on hitting11K ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks so much Hull. 11,098 in 4 months! 😱 Crazy. See you soon mate ❤️❤️❤️
Always wanted to see what they look like from inside! Now I'm disappointed :D
My next door village.
There’s my chap…. Curry tonight… Do you have some sauce for me tonight?

Awesome footage of my local landmark 👍👍 The two empty towers are ftom Willington A station and the other three were from Willington B station
G'day Dj, absolutely fantastic drone shots . I'd be to worried about not getting my drone back 😂. All the best form down under 👍
they pulled the other bits down must be 20 years ago if not more

Thank you for explaining, always wondered what they were for

The more coal you burn the greener the planet the less you burn the more and bigger deserts you get , dr Patrick Moore founder of Greenpeace
Great footage 👍👍
Great flying did a video on this myself a while back. Feel free to have a look. Thanks
I like yourvideos but not the drone music , it's like being in a facking lift.
Great shots inside the cooling towers! Slightly annoying music though!
I liked the music, Like the band ...Air
Brilliant DJ, anther curiosity solved
Thank you very much for the upload.
brave and confident flying DJ !! 😀😀
I thought we'd see Micheal Palin or Bob De Niro - I'm a bit disappointed to be honest.
Awsome great video DJ
Interesting footage as always 🙂
Really enjoyed that
All I can think about is ways to roof it floor it and turn it in to accomodation
Lots of potential when you think about it 👌
Great short video. I remember when this place was active. Still drive past it all the time. I Grew up in Cannock so was used to seeing Rugeley Power Station but that has also gone.

Big up DJ❤️🧤
Big Up Glove 🥊🧤🥊🧤🥊
Looking at this and the ones on the A453 I’ve always wondered how the smoke bellows up. Surprised they not been knocked down

Surprised nobody from the local drone communities wasn’t there, it’s used by a lot of people flying FPV Drones.
What would happen if the Drone malfunctioned,you would lose the Drone.
Nice one I need to learn to fly mine
Ohhhh hell yeah. Never seen anything like it before, cool to see
it's pretty dramatic watching these things being pulled down, but it would be "cool" if a few were left so that in a 1000 years people can think we worshipped giant cotton reels.
Nice to watch a factual audit with proffesionalisam , and get too see what's inside them for the first time I always seen them curious as to what's inside thank you DJ👍🙂
Glad you didn't loose the RF signal, guess the bottom of the tower was open.👍
So blooming cool. Loved this…. You ever thought of getting your pilots license? It all felt very smooooooooth…. 😘
hi me and my daughter and son in law went to the cooling tower on sunday i look on drone assist it sayed i was in a restricted zone i have the dji mini 2 didnt fly but got on site and walk inside one of the towers and wow, it was so cool i put a video up on youtube, i just like to say i love your videos keep up the good work
I hope you got authorisation from Eggington Airfield since the corner cooling tower is within the Flight Restricted Zone.
Dj you blow my mind brother . Your really are unique brilliant 👏

Can you tell me what make and model your drone is please and roughly how much great footage 👍

Fantastic footage
Saw a class 221 train
Fantastic! X
😎👍👍
Again some Great drone footage keep up the good work and more drone footage on your audits
I'd of fought they'd of nock them down be now them stack's
It looks like the power station has been stolen!

Happens to be my favourite video of yours. Less of your voice, less pointless interactions and basically brilliant drone work and photography.
👊
