TR3361 : River Stour by Richborough power station site
taken 12 years ago, near to Cliffs End, Kent, England
The river has four main tributaries, the Great Stour rises in Lenham and East Stour River from Sellindge, meeting at Ashford, when they turn into the Great Stour.
The Great Stour continues through Canterbury to Plucks Gutter where it meets two further tributaries, the River Wantsum and Little Stour to become the River Stour. The river continues across Ash Level through Sandwich and out to Pegwell Bay where it meets the North Sea.

On the 11th March 2012 at 9am, the four towers of the disused Richborough Power Station were demolished by DDS Demolitions.
The power station was opened in 1962, decommissioned in 1996, and permission to demolished the three cooling towers (each 97m high) and chimney (127m high) was granted in January 2012.
The towers were all demolished in 15 seconds, starting with three cooling towers (south, then north west, then north east tower) which were collapsed within their own footprint, and followed by the chimney which fell north west wards between the flattened cooling towers.
A new renewable energy park will be built on the site at a cost of £750 million, and called Richborough Energy Park.
