Abstract: |
Detailed visual record of decommissioned Rugeley 'B' Power Station, Rugeley, Staffordshire SW15 1PR, as a condition of planning consent for demolition in advance of mixed-use redevelopment of the site. Rugeley 'B', a 1,000MW plant, was erected between 1965-1970, one of 13 oil- and coal-fired 'super stations' commissioned by the CEGB as part of the 500MW-unit programme. The station ceased generation in June 2016. All constituent buildings of the plant were inspected and are described (variously to 'Level 2' and 'Level 3' as defined by Historic England), cross-referenced to a comprehensive photographic record and illustrated with copies of original design drawings/diagrams and early photographs as appropriate. Further, a review of the readily available archival sources, at the National Archives, the Staffordshire CRO,and on-site at the power station itself, allowed for a context, both historical and technical, to be established in which to interpret the form and function of the site and its component parts. The programme of HBR allowed for a detailed study and record of the buildings, their construction, operation and general developmental history to be made, so far as possible from a non-intrusive survey, in accordance with NPPF and HE thematic guidelines and in line with the aims and objectives of the project as outlined in a 'Written Scheme of Investigation', reviewed and approved by Staffordshire Council in advance of work. |
