THESE amazing pictures show Oldbury nuclear power station being built more than 60 years ago. Construction of the power station, undertaken by The Nuclear Power Group, began in 1961 and eventually opened in 1967. The site is located close to the village of Oldbury-on-Severn near Thornbury. The three impressive photos show the site during and after construction in 1962, 1964 and 1966. After 44 years of operation, the twin reactor station closed in 2012 and was fuel free by 2016.
