The skyline will be altered forever in parts of the South East as the tallest concrete structure in the United Kingdom was blown up on Wednesday.
Experts detonated the chimney of the defunct 244m-tall Grain A Power Station in Kent on Wednesday, creating some 40,000 tonnes of concrete rubble.
Originally opened in 1979, it was able to produce enough electricity to power more than one million homes. It closed in December 2012.
It has been a prominent feature of the Medway skyline for more than 30 years. The demolition project began in April 2014 and so far there have been five demolition events to bring down the main infrastructure of the plant.
Bill Cliff, plant manager at Uniper's Grain B Power Station, said: "It is tinged with sadness but it is also a celebration for former workers."
