Tinsley cooling towers to be demolished
Tuesday, 12 August 2008

E.ON has today announced it will bring down the redundant Tinsley cooling towers, Sheffield this August Bank Holiday weekend.

Often referred to as the 'Tinsley towers', the 250ft high structures stand around 17 metres away from the M1 viaduct and are set to be demolished, clearing the way for the regeneration of the site and surrounding area.

The 250ft towers will be demolished in a controlled explosion in the early hours of Sunday 24th August.

Because of the need to close the M1 motorway, the timings were decided following extensive consultation with the Highways Agency, Police and other local agencies to try to minimise disruption to locals and road users.
