Cockenzie power station was opened in 1967 and decommissioned in 2013. A coal fired power station its chimneys caught the eye from miles around, when heading along the A1 to Edinburgh, when flying in over the Firth of the Forth or when looking over from the Kingdom of Fife. At noon on 26th of September that landscape changed for ever.
Taken on the eve of the demolition from the field to the west of the chimneys.
Again on the eve of the demolition from nearby Longniddry Bents.
Out with a bang sadly I never managed to get as close to the action as I would have liked. These shots all taken from the outlet pipe at Gosford Bay.
Nope not the wonders of photoshop, after the dust has settled the stacks are gone.
