New drone photos show huge Ironbridge development as houses go up on the site of former power station
It is nearly six years since Ironbridge Power Station's landmark cooling towers disappeared from the Shropshire horizon and the future of the giant site is now taking shape.
In the wake of the demolition work, planning approval was granted for 1,000 homes on the land previously occupied by the distinctive pink towers.
The development will also include a retirement home and leisure spaces in one of the largest new communities created in the county.
The site will be known as 'Benthall Grange' and its owners have sold off sections to property developers who have been going through the process of applying for new housing on the site.
In September Taylor Wimpey North Midlands launched 202 new homes at its new 'Tower Woods' development on the site - with prospective buyers invited to view show homes.
David Wilson Homes has also had more than 100 homes approved at the site for its 'Otters Reach' development.
These pictures captured by the Shropshire Star's Tim Thursfield show the extent of the work so far - with the first signs of Benthall Grange taking shape.
What's for certain is that the landscape will change significantly in the coming years as the site eventually reaches capacity.
