Tilbury (B) Power Station was originally coal-fired power station on the north bank of the River Thames at Tilbury in Essex.The plant was converted to wood pallet-fired power station in 90's, the largest biomass-fired power station in the UK. Plant closed its doors in 2013 due to difficulty in converting and financing the plant after failing to receive a government grant and was decommissioned. Work to flatten the site began in 2016, also included toppling two chimneys. Demolition work was to be completed in late 2019. I took the photos during my walks in the area between 2014 and 2017.
