Return to the hill



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.

    1. Like I said you could see them form a distance and would seen them closer if you went on the train to Bristol or Oxford

  7. When and if housing goes in its place, you might lose any views.
