Photo 2: what the view in Photo 1 is planned to look like after the re-development of the site, all the buildings shown being under a glass-type eco-cover:
Photo 3: Inside one of the halls of the power station (its the tiling on the walls, apparently, that provides the artistic merit):
Photo 4: what the view in Photo 3 is intended to look like after re-development:
Photos 5 and 6: views of the central section of the power station, the roof of which was removed as part of an earlier, but unfinished, attempt at re-development:
Photo 7: what the central area is intended to look like after re-development:
Photo 8: on the way home ...
Can anyone explain to me why a derelict power station should have been turned into the visitor attraction it was today? It really is rather a wheeze to get people to visit and, while doing so, to fill out your feedback form on the development plans!

Maybe it will cheer the people at REO,( when they face work after the long week-end) to see on cctv just how many people were willing to trudge over to Battersea!
Like myself, other people might have thought a "tour" included more than it was and like me they may not have realized how derelict it actually was. Still at least there was no charge. Now i must look up how that other listed landmark-the Hoover building- is looking like these days...
