This is tucked away on one edge of the site beyond the staff car parks. It's most impressive and I would love to know what's inside and what fuel mix they use. I noted that clinical waste might have been part of the mix too. The flues on the near side of the chimney are connected but one on the far side appears to be unused. There are big oil tanks on the extreme left but it is likely they are only for use in case of failure of the primary fuel (possibly gas).
