Flickr set of the week is Inverkip Power Station by Dazzababes.
Inverkip Power Station is an oil fired power station built in the 1970’s which, by the time of completion, was already uneconomical to run owing to the rising cost of oil.
It only reached peak capacity during the miners strike of 1984 and has lain disused since it was mothballed as a strategic reserve in 1988.Plans are underway for the dismantling of the plant, although no decision has been reached as to a subsequent use for the site.
