The closing day at Meaford Power station from the inside!
The final unit is tripped at approx 19:40 in this video.
Meaford ’B’ was the second of two power stations built just north of Stone, Staffordshire. It was of 260mw capacity and the first unit of four became operational in December 1955. The station was formally opened on the 4th October 1957.
The nationalised owners / operators the Central Electricity Generating Board was broken up in 1990 and privatised and Meaford became part of National Power.
Generation continued until 13:00 on the 28th September 1990 when no 2 unit was tripped for the very last time. Formal closure occurred on the 1st October 1991 with the five 250’ tall cooling towers being demolished in September 1991. Demolition of the main building and chimney commenced in early January 1996 and the 408’ tall brick chimney demolished by explosives on the 9th June 1996.
As at October 2019 Meaford ‘B’ remains operational. A new gas fired power station is to be built on the site (Meaford ‘C’?) but work has yet to start.
