A collection of videos show a Yorkshire Coal fired Power Station being removed from the landscape in a series of demolition projects. Eggborough Power Station near Selby,North Yorkshire was the last remaining Coal fired power station to operate in Yorkshire. Since it closed back in 2018, decommissioning works involving controlled explosives has literally wiped the giant man made landmark from the face of the earth. On 1 August 2021 just after 08:00, four of the eight cooling towers were demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site. On 10 October 2021 at 09:00, the final four cooling towers were demolished.
On 6 March 2022, the coal bunker building known as 'Bunker Bay' was demolished. The demolition was carried out by Birmingham-based contractors DSM.
On 1 June 2022, a section of the boiler house known as 'DA Bay' was demolished (not shown in this video)
On 24 July 2022, at 10:00, the chimney stack and the main boiler house were demolished. This was the final explosive demolition at the site.

Once demolition works are completed, the former station is expected to become an industrial site known as 'Core 62'

Eggborough Power Station first began generating electricity in 1967 and closed in September 2018
