The disused 'Tinsley Towers' , 65m high cooling towers (associated with a former coal fired power station) which were located beside the M1 between Sheffield and Rotherham were demolished early today by power company E.on, despite protests that the landmarks should be preserved. 12,000 people turned up in the middle of the night to watch their destruction.
The land released by their demolition is to become the site of a new power station but this one will burn recycled wood and produce enough electricity for 40,000 homes.
