Looking downstream from Ringley Old Bridge. The bridge downstream used to carry pipes to the former Kearsley Power Station which was constructed in 1927 and was one of Britain's most efficient coal-fuelled generators. It was closed in 1980, and its cooling towers were demolished in 1985. The site has now been redeveloped for commerce and housing.
