Not much point in them if they are disused, I suppose. But I'd be rather sad to see them go.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995313306997352940.post-6483898147061594432012-02-02T14:55:49.594+00:002012-02-02T14:55:49.594+00:00They had the cooling towers for cooling the water ...They had the cooling towers for cooling the water that removed the heat generated at the same time as the power. The same principles as in a nuclear power station. There are, as Adullamite said, a lot of them about in the north especially, but these are the only ones in Kent. There have been pictures in the local paper for weeks. They are now showing artistic ones of "towers in the A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04709794851766685322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995313306997352940.post-13703338592867558472012-02-02T06:53:22.887+00:002012-02-02T06:53:22.887+00:00I think I would be against demolishing Richborough...I think I would be against demolishing Richborough Castle.

I do think we need to keep some record of our industrial past whether it pleases environmentalists or not, but the only visible sign I've seen in the area is a statue of a miner near Betteshanger, the last mine to close in Kent.
