Five-year-old boy becomes youngest person to see inside Drax's cooling towers

Little Henry Preece was so fascinated by the sight of Drax’s cooling towers while driving past the Selby site with his family that he wrote a letter asking if he could visit.

Henry’s description of the ‘elephant chimneys’ at the biggest carbon-saving project in Europe impressed bosses at Drax, who decided to let him see inside one of the 114-metre-high structures.

He even said he loved the towers ‘more than chocolate’.
