The Wikipedia page for Fiddler's Ferry power station says: "With its eight 114-metre (374 ft) high cooling towers and 200-metre (660 ft) high chimney the station is a prominent landmark and can be seen from as far away as the Peak District and the Pennines." It certainly can. I took this shot from an elevation of 385m just above Cessbank Common. Samsung NX500 with a 50-200 zoom lens at 200mm (equivalent to 308mm on a 35mm camera). f5.6 1/250th second ISO200. It was a very dark and gloomy day, and I tried ISO100 too but it washed out the detail.
