The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Can any of you who live in England tell me if the power station used to film parts of Aliens is still around?

I work in a building that was built on top of the site of the turbine house. Almost nothing of the power station remains - it is now a business park. The only part of the power station that remains is the large substation that is still operational.

There is no rubble or other evidence of the other buildings visible on the site - above ground at least ...

That's too bad, would make a great movie location visit.

Pug, if you ever see any debris left over from Acton, you should grab a piece "just because".
