Telephone Exchange, Slough Trading Estate (1)
Situated at the corner of Buckingham Avenue and Bradford Road, this TE would seem to have been built rather recently. The two BT warning notices can be seen on the wall side by side, whilst the yellow notice says "Private Parking. Wheel Clamping In Operation". The blue entrance door can be seen on the left of the TE.

Scottish & Southern Slough Power Station
The tall building on the right is the boiler house holding two fluidised bed water tube boilers that are about 36m tall and run at 87 bar. The view from the top is spectacular.
This power station has developed over nearly 90 years and is crammed in to a very small space compared to its former CEGB brethren.

Scottish & Southern Slough Power Station
The nearer chimney is refractory lined as it receives hot gas turbine exhaust. The turbine can be operated open cycle or combined cycle. The tall light building houses the "fibre-fuel" (www.fibrefuel.co.uk ) fired installation and the large pipe up the end is the exhaust from a big Peter Brotherhood turbine that is on its way to an air cooled roof mounted condenser.
This is a fascinating plant with many unique features and is well worth a visit if you are in to that sort of thing. Interior photos are not for Geograph but are available on request.
