Are they still standing?
If they aren't they'll be the two towers at Tinsley but sadly they were brought down about ten years ago.

No, they were demolished. And not the Tinsley Towers, though some people erroneously think that this special event, that took place in the tower we are looking for, happened in South Yorkshire. It did not.

No, but Didcot is closer than Ironbridge from a geographic point of view.

No. You are moving north, but drawing a line from Ironbridge to Didcot and going further in that direction will take you to...

Sorry Big E: The Satsop cooling towers are absolute beauties, but they are located in the state of Washington, were planned as part of a nuclear plant, and they are still standing.

Give that man a cigar.
Back in my teenage years I went to the movies to watch "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam. Since then it has been one of my favorite films, because of the sharp contrast between the dream sequences and the dystopian reality, the special kind of absurd humor, and of course because of the final sequence that leads the spectator to believe the protagonist has escaped his torturer (Michael Palin) until the last scene that shows Sam still strapped to his chair, humming that little melody with open empty eyes. The sequence was filmed in the cooling tower of Croydon power station. And man, it gave me gooseflesh. Over to u crank
