The Chapelcross nuclear power station near Annan, was very similar to Calder Hall. With 8 x 30mw generators it did not make large quantities of electricity, but it was the main source of weapons grade plutonium for Britain's nuclear weapons. Commissioned in 1959 this magnox station came off line in 2004. The four cooling towers that stood behind the reactor halls were demolished a few years before I took this photo in 2009 during decommissioning.

The Lonsdale has been a cinema since early in the 20th century. It is now split with bingo in the rear stalls, and two small cinemas - seating 107 and 57 - in the original front stalls; accessed via the rear of the original building.
