Tinsley Towers

Tinsley Towers was the gateway to the north. The M1 curved down as you returned home, 3 lanes intensified in to 2, concentrating both the mind and those from further north, your focus became consolidated through necessity as the traffic intensified like the where the river Wharf goes in to the Strid, 70 miles an hour, all heads forward as any rearview mirror bollocks could meen your end. Then, like two great concrete gods Tinsley Towers towered in to view. There are many more cooling towers but none fed to you in anything like this fashion. Travelling at speed into a vista so massive the untrained mind either blanked it out or simply failed. The decision to knock down Tinsley Towers was E-ons' . The last 2 remaining towers of 5 that had stood non functioning since the 70s yet one of Englands greatest icons.
