How high is 125m

  • 410 feet!
  • Burton Wold turbines are 326ft
  • Draughton church tower is +/- 41ft
  • Centre point in London is 383ft
  • The London Eye is 443ft
  • Nelson’s Column is 165ft
  • Big Ben is 314ft
  • And at 418 ft the Northampton lift tower is more or less the same.

So think in terms of 7 Northampton lift towers being erected on this site!

 

 How big are the blades?

The span of the blades is 80-90m; the wing span of a jumbo jet is 59.6m and the length is 70.5m so a jumbo jet could fly through the circle made by the blades.

Wembly football pitch is 105 x 68m.

Wind turbine blades - smaller than those proposed for the Harrington site
