We Witnessed the Demolition of Richborough Power Station
By Chris (SelectSpecs) - March 14, 2012 | News & Announcements, Other | No CommentsLast Sunday morning, we got to witness the the demolition of our largest local landmark - The Richborough Power Station near Sandwich in Kent.

The cooling towers stood at 97 metres and the Chimney was a whopping 127 metres tall; all were reduced to rubble in just a few seconds via controlled explosives. You can see our view of the demolition in the video above.
