A couple of weeks ago I went along to Cholsey hill one Sunday Morning to get a photo of the view where the Old Didcot Power Station was. A few hours previous they had blown up the remaining Stack thus removing the last part. When I got there the wind was blowing hard and gave me trouble to get a good shot. The other day I popped back up to get one as the weather was better
Looking at the remaining Didcot B you now see smaller stacks the one that was blown upi was about where the pylon is between the stacks
Zooming out a bit here to give a wider view
Above moving right a little you get a view towards the edge of Brightwell.
Right the hangers of Polly Vacher's private airstrip. Her husband Peter used to keep his Hawker Hurricane there
Over to the right more you see Witthenham Clumps, this part id called Round Hill
Nearer you can see Mackney Court Farm near Brightwell
I will leave you with this view of Didcot B the landmark that you could see for miles around and marked that you nearly home now now gone.

Interesting - where you used to live?
ReplyDeleteI live nearby but not in that direction
DeleteI remember seeing Didcot from quite a distance prior to their demise.
ReplyDeleteLike I said you could see them form a distance and would seen them closer if you went on the train to Bristol or Oxford
DeleteIt's nice when you're up on the hill and you have a panorama in front ...
ReplyDeleteYes you get a good one on a nice day
DeleteAlways love seeing the views there!
ReplyDeleteAt least it looks better that it used to be
DeleteYou got some really nice views of the area. I wonder what's going to be there to replace it.
ReplyDeleteMore housing from what heard
DeleteInteresting views of the surrounding countryside. The Mackney Court Farms looks like a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite nice with a few houses nearby
DeleteWhen and if housing goes in its place, you might lose any views.
ReplyDeleteThey are welcome to try, it's a flood plain
DeleteYou certain got some really lovely views of the area.
