A while ago, I found some old slides which, among other places, showed some of the construction of Inverkip Power Station. I don’t think these have been shown before…
Inverkip Power Station Part V
It’s been a while since my last trip, and it was very good to see the old place again before demolition gets too far along.
For those who don’t know (where have you been?) Inverkip is a large oil-fired power station on the Firth of Clyde, built just before the oil crisis of the ’70s it was always a bit of a white elephant and only briefly reached full capacity during the miner’s strikes.
First visit, while waiting for dawn, was to the control room:
Greenock Titan II
