Camblesforth Hall

Camblesforth Hall is a historic building in Camblesforth, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The hall was built in about 1690, probably by John Etty, and extended on several occasions. By the 20th century, it was used as a farmhouse, and at some point was divided into two properties. It was Grade I listed in 1966. It became empty in about 2010, and fell into poor repair. In 2020 it was purchased by Naomi and Byron Ward, who restored the property. During the process, they discovered the name "Francis Mary Adams" scratched into the window, the name of a resident in the mid 18th century. Some of the renovation works were captured and featured on Channel 4 'Renovation Nation' in 2022. Since the restoration, it has been used as a wedding venue. The house is built of reddish-brown brick on a plinth with stone coping, stone dressings, quoins, overhanging eaves with modillions, and a hipped slate roof with a central well. There are two storeys and attics, and seven bays. The central doorway has a moulded architrave, a frieze with floral scrolls, and a broken pediment on consoles. The windows are sashes with flat gauged brick arches, and in the attic are four pedimented dormers with horizontally-sliding sashes. At the rear is a large round-headed sash window with radial glazing, imposts and a keystone. On the east return is a doorway with a Gibbs surround and a devil mask keystone. Inside, much of the original interior survives, including the main and service staircases, much panelling, and many doors, plastered ceilings and fireplaces.

Drax Power Station

Drax power station is a large biomass power station in Drax, North Yorkshire, England. It has a 2.6 GW capacity for biomass and had a 1.29 GW capacity for coal that was retired in 2021. Its name comes from the nearby village of Drax. It is situated on the River Ouse between Selby and Goole. Its generating capacity of 3,906 megawatts (MW), which includes the shut down coal units, is the highest of any power station in the United Kingdom, providing about 6% of the United Kingdom's electricity supply. Opened in 1974 and extended in the 1980s, the station was initially operated by the Central Electricity Generating Board. Since privatisation in 1990 ownership has changed several times, and it is operated by the Drax Group. Completed in 1986, it was the newest coal-fired power station in England until it closed in 2021. Flue gas desulphurisation equipment was fitted between 1988 and 1995. The high and low pressure turbines were replaced between 2007 and 2012. By 2010, the station was co-firing biomass. In 2012, the company announced plans to convert three generating units to solely biomass, burning 7.5 million tonnes imported from the United States and Canada. This work was completed in 2016 and a fourth unit was converted in 2018. The company planned to convert its remaining two coal units to Combined Cycle Gas Turbine units and 200 MW battery storage. However, those two coal units were shut in 2021 without converting them to biomass. In 2025, the UK government extended its operation to 2031, but at a reduced load factor so it would run less than half as often from 2027 using 100% biomass.
