Rejected petition Ironbridge Power Station demolition

More details

The towering chimneys have been a feature of the Gorge for about 50 years, but their future is uncertain with the power plant set to close before the end of next year.

English Heritage says the towers cannot be protected as they do not meet strict criteria, meaning there is a strong chance they will be demolished. But campaigner Keith Newby says he will fight tooth and nail to protect the landmarks.
