This wind turbine is a prominent landmark for miles around, even at night thanks to the two flashing red beacons on its top. It is situated close to the M4, and has a rotor diameter of 70m. It generates 3.5million units of clean electricity per year, since 2005. Also of note landmark wise in this square, is the Madejski stadium, of which there are plenty of photographs on here already.
