High Marnham, Near Retford, Nottinghamshire.
Mid to late 1950s, five 200 MW turbo-generator units were ordered by CEGB for High Marnham power station, bringing British practice up to French and American standards (where more fuel-efficient 200MW sets had been experimented with for some years). The turbo-generators were built by the English Electric Co and the associated boilers by International Combustion[1]
When opened in October 1962, this 1,000 MW station was the largest in Europe, consuming coal from 17 collieries[2]
