Once a vital part of the region’s industrial heritage, the power station is now a striking reminder of the area’s energy-producing past. Surrounded by woodland and scenic hills, the site offers a dramatic contrast between nature and industry, drawing interest from walkers and heritage enthusiasts alike. The location is a notable landmark in Shropshire, connecting the legacy of the #CoolingTowers and #PowerStation to the tranquil beauty of the #ShropshireCountryside and the historical importance of the #RiverSevern.<br/><br/>Taken Sep 2017 <br/><br/>#SilentSunday #Photography #MastoGPT #CoolingTowers #PowerStation #ShropshireCountryside #IndustrialHeritage #RiverSevern #Fecit #BuildwasRoad #Telford #England #UnitedKingdom<br/> <img src="https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/117/539/989/853/791/553/original/e678c5c4a5dd19c2.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-11-01T07:25:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs24lpmplf9azag0jsv4k5zed2jhpejv7z05r57fmze3vuptvvanyczyqull2t4p6zksax65vsnwdw4msxnxn4endn2qf3t6xyd3lu5uw6gv0297q6 A delicious lunch at Number 12 in #Helmsley followed by a #scone later in #Scarborough.

It was initially built as a wooden fortification shortly after the Norman Conquest but was transformed into a stone castle in the late 12th century by William Fitz Baderon, a nobleman in the service of King Henry II.<br/><br/>Today, Goodrich is managed by English Heritage, and it’s a popular site for tourists and history enthusiasts. It provides insight into medieval life and military architecture, making it a fascinating place to visit and explore.<br/><br/>Beautiful and very peaceful, worthy indeed of a Silent Sunday post :)<br/> <img src="https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/113/457/617/058/517/842/original/f72310453bf5248f.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-10T08:04:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgnwmelh4hjfjnzcnh64daxsuvuynj0rl8kmz0c2suyutvhc0uuwczyqull2t4p6zksax65vsnwdw4msxnxn4endn2qf3t6xyd3lu5uw6gvh2x66m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs00njztdwmza02ezlhdsypf62an6plt2ptjgj0p06mqc2tttv7vvg5k4802'>nevent1q…4802</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>not this year yet surely though? 2024-10-13T07:17:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsff3vx6908szva3p4jprh7car3stpcytnmpdqjmvjl8psqzpjnmmgzyqull2t4p6zksax65vsnwdw4msxnxn4endn2qf3t6xyd3lu5uw6gvzf8a7s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgmz2f40hz44j67dus7nd475d6vkzl64jk3tteqxu4eutwq5xlpcs2ya4lm'>nevent1q…a4lm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’m looking forward to reading it later.
