Long gone, nice enough walk along the Severn Way from Oldbury-On-Severn, Interesting area, great views along the river.

Pleasant walk round perimeter of Oldbury nuclear power station. Final reactor closed down 2012. Power stn first produced electricity 1967 which seems consistent with OS record of pillar destroyed 1962 (seems reasonable it would have gone during early groundwork), but inconsistent with arranc's 1968 sighting (see first log for this trig).

As I was early for a meeting at Oldbury, I thought I should pay my respects to this former trig.

GPSr indicated 20m inside the fence: location now occupied by a largeish grey building. Destroyed 05/62 according to OS trig archive (this is possibly wrong - inconsistent with 1968 log by arranc).

Grey building marks the spot

The former site of the pillar is in the perimeter of Oldbury Nuclear Power Station close to the sea wall. The former pillar site looks over the estuary to the Forest of Dean and downstream to the two Severn Bridges, in profile, one directly behind the other. The Severn Estuary is a SSSI and the silt lagoons of the power station are a haven for wild life.

On 1967 One Inch Sheet 156 but not now on ground. The only bubbles blown here are atomic.
