A view towards the power house and main chimney during the construction of the Isle of Grain Power Station, showing the five flumes for the cooling water system in the foreground. The Isle of Grain Power Station was an oil fired power station built in the 1970s by multiple contractors, including John Laing and Son Ltd. When the power station opened in 1979, it had the second tallest chimney in the UK at 244 metres high. The power station has now been demolished and the chimney was destroyed in September 2016. A new Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power station has been built at the site
