Didcot Power Station

depends what you mean by close, there are perimeter roads around it that get you 75meters away in a car, but would imagine you need to contact the station direct to get in any closer. You can get closer on foot, I've cycled around them. 3 out of the 6 towers are in the process of being decommissioned, but I think the others are still in operation so should be someone about.
Half of it is due to be pulled down this year - should be a good sight.

I watched the demoliton of the first batch.. i waited from Midnight until something silly like 5am... Certainly wortht the wait though! Was all over in about 30 seconds :-(
Me too!A fellow PH'er arranged for me to watch from the roof of a building 850 metres away. Will post a pic up later.
Further to this, got a tweet from the MD of the demolition contractors yesterday, more likely to be 2016 now
