Demolished early in the morning on Sunday 27th July 2014. The following is an extract from the BBC news web pages: Three enormous cooling towers at the disused Didcot A Power Station in Oxfordshire have been demolished. The blast, conducted with more than 180kg of explosives, flattened 36,000 tonnes of material in seconds and was streamed live online. Hundreds of people gathered to watch the towers come down at 05:01 BST, despite warnings of a huge dust cloud. The decision to carry out the demolition before sunrise was criticised by some residents. The coal-fired power station ceased generating in March last year after dominating the skyline around the town since 1970. |

| Provendor pond. The water from this pond was pumped into the water towers used by the GWR at Didcot. The water tower on the Great western Society site was filled by a pump pumping water from this pond until the Provendor Building was demolished in the late seventies. The area has been leveled and is now Didcot Parkway carpark. |
