Skelton Grange A and B power stations built here, and the A station was a range station, meaning any boiler could be used with any turbine. 10 boilers in total. B station was a unit station, and consisted of 4 boilers/turbines of 120Mw and was eventually closed in 1995, later the site was demolished. If you were working outside of the buildings, every so often you could hear a loud bang where testing of the copper from the Yorkshire Coppers Works. |
