Poole Power Station, Hamworthy ca 1970
The old power station was demolished in 1993 and was operational from 1950-1984. Part of the site became the base on the Hamworthy side for the Twin Sails bridge that opened in 2012, providing a second road link from Poole town centre to Hamworthy.

Poole Harbour
This is the view from the lift bridge towards the inner harbour showing the queue of boats that have been waiting for the bridge to lift so that they can leave the harbour. The bridge was raised five minutes previously and the boats have started to pass through. It took 15 minutes for all boats to pass through and the bridge to be lowered again.

Lifeboats at Poole (4)
Alderney’s “Roy Barker I” leaves Hole Bay, for Poole Harbour.
On the date of my visit, there appeared to be a training exercise for several RNLI boats. The Lifeboat College is based at Poole. Poole’s lifeboat, “City of Sheffield” (Tyne Class, from 1982), was not involved, remaining on standby, outside Poole Lifeboat Station. Alderney’s “Roy Barker I” (Trent Class, from 1994) was in attendance, as were former Angle lifeboat “The Lady Rank” (Tyne Class 1982-2008), and Tyne Class training lifeboats “Ian and Anne Butler” and “Watchful”.
