From the ruins of Pontefract Castle (West Yorkshire). The stone work in the foreground is part of the fabric of the castle itself, the tower with pinnacles is that of All Saints Church and the power station in the background is Eggborough. The castle at Pontefract has a long and important history, it’s believed that Richard II was murdered there.

It almost seems the history of mankind in one shot! 🙂
Almost 1000 years.

Is that a nuclear power plant in the background? A striking contrast.
No – just a simple coal fired job.
The area is surrounded by them – built where the coal fields were.
