Battersea Powerstation was in a derelict / state for many years. I travelled past / this site regularly and photographed from / many angles but this shot – with the / defaced hoardings and disused billboard - / just added to the overall decay. / London 1989 BBC article here
Many Londoners have watched with horror as this iconic image has been dismantled slowly over the years always with a promise of reconstruction, but never quite getting there. Bigger than the Tate modern, the infrastructure has rotted since the roof was removed and I hope one day soon the capital is found to restore it to its former glory before it is too late.

A shot of the famous brick powerstation on the river Thames in London. This structure is the largest brick building in Europe. It is quite often photographed, maybe most famously on the cover art of the Pink Floyd album Animals Hope you like it, comments welcome and encouraged. The levels were tweaked a little, but the colors are nearly the same same the image straight from the camera
Battersea Power Station in London is a defunct power station that was the first in a series of large coal-fired electrical generating facilities set up in England as part of the National Grid power distribution system then being introduced. The first part of the structure was built in 1939, and the station ceased electricity-generation in 1983. Since then the site has remained largely unused, with numerous failed redevelopment plans from successive site owners. The building is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original and lavish Art Deco fittings and decor. The station famously appears in The Beatles’ 1965 Help! movie and on the cover art of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album Animals.(Wikipedia)

Hey who stole the pig? If you didn’t care what happened to me, / And I didn’t care for you, / We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain / Occasionally glancing up through the rain. / Wondering which of the buggars to blame / And watching for pigs on the wing. You know that I care what happens to you, / And I know that you care for me. / So I don’t feel alone, / Or the weight of the stone, / Now that I’ve found somewhere safe / To bury my bone. / And any fool knows a dog needs a home, / A shelter from pigs on the wing. (Pigs on the Wing Part 1 and 2 by Roger Waters and Floyd.)

Battersea Power Station is a defunct coal-fired power station in Battersea, London, that was the first in a series of large coal-fired electrical generating facilities set up in England as part of the introduction of the National Grid power distribution system. The first part of the structure was built in 1939, and the station ceased electricity generation in 1983. Since then the site has remained largely unused, with numerous failed redevelopment plans from successive site owners. The building is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The station famously appears in The Beatles’ 1965 movie Help! and on the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album Animals. The building is Grade II* listed [1] and its condition has been described as “very bad” by English Heritage, which includes the power station on its Buildings at Risk Register. In 2004 the power station was on the World Monuments Fund’s List of 100 Most Endangered Sites. The site has been owned by an Irish company, Real Estate Opportunities (REO), since November 2006, after it purchased it for £400 million.[2]
A one-shot HDR image of the fantastic Battersea Power Station – this was as close as I could get, unfortunately. Square crop and vignette added. See more of my work at Dan Biggins Photography.
The iconic Battersea Power Station, shot as part of my London Project (see www.sftnet.co.uk for more details). The power station has been closed for many years, but the structure still dominates this section of the Thames with its unmistakeable silhouette. Thanks for looking!

When my film came back from the lab and I pulled this photo out of the bag I nearly dropped my hat. A triple twist of champion arcitecture, HolgaMadness and (accidently) Magritte. I don’t think I can top this. So I am going to stop. You can relax now Danny. Battersea Powerstation, London Untouched Medium Format scan. Cross processed. Part 1 in a series
