LNG pipeline and storage tanks, Isle of Grain
To quote from the National Grid website - "National Grid Grain LNG Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of National Grid, has constructed a liquefied natural gas importation and regasification terminal at the Isle of Grain". This photo shows the pipeline (behind a ten foot security fence and inside thick concrete walls...) and two of the new storage tanks.
This is the first installation of its kind in the UK.

All of this is part of National Grid's liquefied natural gas installation under construction on the site of the former BP oil refinery at Isle of Grain. The storage tanks in the background are not yet shown on OS maps. I think they are in square TQ8675.

Grain Road
The main road across the Hoo Peninsula is the A228 but after Grain Crossing it becomes the B2001 and only leads to Grain and the site of the former Grain Power Station. Here it passes through an area which until 1982 was home to a major oil refinery. Construction of this facility for British Petroleum (now BP) took from 1948 to 1952. Most of this area is allocated for industrial and warehousing use under the Thames Gateway project and high fences line either side of the road.

Grain Power Station from Grain Road
The main road across the Hoo Peninsula is the A228 but after Grain Crossing it becomes the B2001 and only leads to Grain and Grain Power Station. Here it passes through an area which until 1982 was home to a major oil refinery. Construction of this facility for British Petroleum (now BP) took from 1948 to 1952. Most of this area is allocated for industrial and warehousing use under the Thames Gateway project and high fences line either side of the road.
Grain Power Station, seen beyond the fence, was an oil-burning power station and was built in the 1970s. It was mothballed in 2003, but reopened in 2006. The chimney seen here is no more as it was blown up on 7th September 2016 - see http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/chimney-being-blown-up-at-101567/
