On Saturday the 31st of May 2008 the last of the twenty six turbine towers was delivered to the Scout Moor Wind Farm construction site. The convoy is seen here making its way out of Edenfield on the A680 Rochdale Road. It was almost 6 months to the day since the first tower was delivered back in November 2007 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/621442 The tower sections in the picture were for Turbine Tower No 17 which was constructed during the first week of June 2008.
