Well for those of us who were up before 3am it was a long wait until the big bang finally happened at 5 o'clock, but it was certainly worth waiting for. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought he'd found a quiet spot that no-one else would go to, but I was certainly proved wrong after 50+ people gathered in one small farm track alone to witness the demolition of three of Didcot's famous cooling towers. Yesterday I was interviewed about the future of the site. RWE are in the process of selling much of the site to Clowes Developments who are already working on a masterplan for the site. Details will be available later this year, but expect a mix of industrial, commercial and housing on the huge site. There are major constraints such as the railway line, access into Didcot and most significantly then existing gas-fired power station, Didcot B. It is rumoured that the demolition on Sunday went so well that RWE may consider using the same technique to demolish the remaining three towers next year. Originally there were concerns that a large cloud of dust caused by demolishing those towers by explosion could cause problems for Didcot B and the transmission equipment close by. This is obviously being reassessed.
