    'Great Rivalries' Grand Prix Documentary
    25 minutes

    Great introduction sequences

    (Interesting, in the background at 19:48 to go
    at the 1955 British GP at Aintree is probably
    a nuclear power plant cooling tower.
    Hmmm, perhaps that was a non-nuclear cooling tower.
    "world's first civil nuclear programme,[2] opening a nuclear
    power station, Calder Hall at Windscale, England, in 1956."
    OK, perhaps that was Fiddler's Ferry coal powered plant.)

    Fiddlers Ferry was built in 1973. More likely the Merseyside
    Power Station, built and operated by Lever Bros. from 1918 to
    power their Port Sunlight plant and adjacent villages. It was
    less than 5 miles from Aintree.
