Spondon was an unusual and unique power station that sat on the River Derwent and backed on to the British Celanese site. It consisted of an ancient coal fired power station that dated back to 1916 and a modern Combined Heat and Power station that supplied process steam to British Celanese.
Spondon was an amazingly friendly place to work with lots of interesting characters and machinery. It had at least one station cat, a resident ghost and a great canteen. Spondon usually left a big impression on all the people who once worked there and reluctantly moved on.
