The coal-fired power station was decommissioned in 2018 and four of its eight towers — each containing around 11,000 tonnes of reinforced concrete — were demolished as part of a plan to redevelop the site.
The cooling towers can be seen for miles around and have been a Yorkshire landmark for 50 years, along with those at the other two nearby power stations along the M62, at Drax and Ferrybridge.
