i remember watching this Blue Peter at the time I think, always seems a bit sad watching these huge structures being blown up. So many of these landmarks are now gone, there used to be both Grain and Kingsnorth power stations near where I live and Tilbury over the river but watched as they were gradually demolished until the chimneys were finally blown up, did go to see Kingsnorth go.

Stunning 😍

I remember going to watch this with my 2 children who were 4 and 6 at the time. I recall it every time I go past there. I didn’t realise it was televised for Blue Peter.

Some of Batman 1989 filmed there

Is there any videos of the steam locos running here?

As a teenager we used to swim in the "Culvert" (A concrete channel where the warm water from the cooling towers used to be drained). Happy Days :-)

It was actually just inside Bedfordshire

I remember seeing Little Barford power station from the train when I used to go to Peterborough with my mum, along with the Peterborough b rickworks it was one if the big landmarks on the journey. I also remember the demolition being on Blue Peter, amazing to think it was so long ago. thanks for sharing it.

OMG! i can sort of remember this! well the bang anyway, i think i may have been on my dads shoulders!!!

Anyone know when in '89 this was demolished?

I remember going on a school trip around the station in its working days, and then later on watching it go down....how it changed the landscape of St. Neots

I remember the day :)
