Former Toton wagon works site
Former Toton wagon works site This is an extraordinary view looking south-west from the Toton bank showing the site of the former wagon works now completely taken over by hundreds of trees. In normal circumstances, this unused expanse of land would have been snapped up by developers to build yet more houses to satisfy this country's insatiable appetite for new properties. However, this land is earmarked for the East Midlands' hub of HS2 with virtually everything seen in the foreground to be wiped away - we'll see! Notice the 2000MW Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station on the skyline. Opened in 1968, this coal-fired power station is due to be fully decommissioned by October 2025 to be replaced by a huge waste incinerator also to be used to generate electricity for the grid.
