Report - Winnington B Power Station Control Room & Sub Station - Fan Buildings, Northwich, June 2024

[stranton]

Visited twice once with @GRONK @Shaun & @sam8327 then with @GRONK & @sam8327 ,
the first visit was an expedition avoiding drops & fighting through vegetation
the second visit was a lot easier as we found an alternative way
well worth the effort.

Winnington B was a dual heat & power station providing electricity for the Brunner Mond soda ash works,
the power station was demo'd in 2007 leaving the 2 buildings remaining.

That looks great, didn't know there was that much left. Any sign of asbestos?

Any sign of asbestos?

there's some asbestos as expected with industrial sites, but there's a lot of soda ash powder on the floor & equipment,

Did you mange to dodge security OK? Reading a few other reports and they say there are trail cams and regular patrols but looks like you had no issues.

Yes but be careful for the RPG Squirrels they have set up in the forest
