The Anonymous Widower

Dartford Crossing

I had to travel to Dover today and took some photographs of the two major bridges en route.  Here are some pictures taken at the Dartford Crossing. Those I took on the Medway Viaducts weren’t worth publishing.

Note the Littlebrook power station. It is oil-fired and was opened in 1981.  Perhaps, it should be gone now! It will be in its present form by 2015.  But at the moment it is one of the few power stations with a black-start capability.  That means it can be started without any external electricity supply.

If anybody thinks that I was taking these photographs whilst driving, then think again.
