Monument record TQ 87 SW 63 - Kingsnorth Power Station, Hoo St. Werburgh
Summary
Kingsnorth Power station was built between 1963-73; it was one of ten stations built by the Central Electricity Generating Board during that period. The plant included two large jetties for colliers and tankers, detached administration and control room buildings and a separate back-up gas turbine station. It was also built with an unusual dual fired coal and oil design (coal is now the sole fuel). The power station is of little architectural interest.
