Four iconic structures that have dominated the Kent skyline for more than 50 years, were razed to the ground on Sunday (March 11) after demolition experts carried out a series of controlled explosions at the Richborough Power Station near Sandwich.
Three cooling towers measuring nearly 100 meters high, and a single 130 meter chimney stack, crumbled to the ground in less than 20 seconds, to make way for the creation of a new green energy park being developed at the site.
