This site is dedicated to a very special
building among the fans of the pop group Pink
Floyd. Battersea Power Station appeared on the cover
of their album Animals (1977). Designed
by the famous British architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, with a sumptuous
Art Deco control room, Italian marble turbine hall, polished parquet floors,
wrought iron staircases and the four characteristic white smokestacks it
provided London with electricity between
1937 and 1980.
Today, a shadow of its past, the building awaits its future fate. |
