On Yorkshire Day itself, a landmark of the region is no more after cooling towers at Eggborough Power Station were demolished.

The site bought by St Francis Group in 2019, for regeneration and development of the area

Immediately after the towers came down, cleaning crews were deployed to clean adjacent roads of the dust resulting from the demolition.

The remainder of the site will be demolished over the next 18 months
