The Tinsley Twins taken on my mobile phone on my way to work
E-on, the German-based energy company, is to demolish the famous cooling towers in Tinsley, Sheffield.
The towers, at Blackburn Meadows, are 250 feet high and stand close to the M1, offering a prominent landmark to those travelling to and from the north of England. They serve as a reminder of the region’s proud industrial past which, like every other area of great British industry, has long since been destroyed by the anti-British traitors who control our country.
The towers will be demolished to make way for regeneration in the area, and it is said that their replacement will include a chimney which is even higher than the two iconic towers. A biomass power station is planned for the site.
The power plant which the towers had been part of was demolished in the 1980s, leaving only two of the eight cooling towers standing.
The decision to demolish the towers caused mixed opinions in Sheffield, with many people glad to see them go, and many others launching a campaign, including an online petition attracting more than 4000 signatures, to keep the Tinsley Twins. Ultimately this campaign was to fail.
Having worked in the area recently, I would see the towers on my way to and from work, and they were a great navigational landmark. It is a shame to see the end of something which many, myself included, believe should be preserved as a monument to British engineering, industry and as a tribute to everything which once made this country great but has been eroded away and destroyed by the pro-EU, anti-British traitors who now sit in Westminster and claim over-inflated salaries for doing nothing.
