Until The Late 1930s Electricity Was Supplied By Municipal Undertakings. These Had Been Small Power Organizations
History
Till the late 1930s electricity was supplied by municipal undertakings. These had been small power businesses that built power stations dedicated to a single market or group of factories, and sold any excess electricity to the public. These companies employed widely differing standards of voltage and frequency. In 1925, parliament decided that the power grid needs to be a single program with uniform standards under public ownership. Several of the private power companies reacted towards the proposal by forming the London Power Organization. They planned to heed parliament’s recommendations and develop a small number of very big stations.
The London Power Company’s very first of these super power stations was planned for the Battersea region, on the south bank of the River Thames in London. The proposal for the station was produced in 1927, for a station built in two stages, capable of producing 400,000 kilowatts (kW) of electricity when completed. The site chosen for the construction of the station was a 15 acre plot of land which had been the internet site of the reservoirs for the former Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Organization. The web site was chosen for its close proximity towards the River Thames for cooling water and coal delivery, and because it was sited within the heart of London, the station’s instant supply area.
The proposal sparked protests from those who felt that the constructing could be too big and would be an eyesore, also as worries about the pollution damaging nearby buildings, parks and also paintings in the nearby Tate Gallery. The firm addressed the former concern by hiring Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to style the building’s exterior. He was a noted architect and industrial designer, renowned for his style of the red telephone box, of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and of one more London power station, Bankside, which now houses the Tate Modern art gallery. The latter was resolved by granting permission for the station on the condition that its emissions had been to be treated, to make certain they were cleaner and contained less smoke.
Construction of the first phase, the A Station, commenced in March 1929. The primary building function was carried out by John Mowlem & Co, and the structural steelwork erection carried out by Sir William Arrol & Co. Other contractors were employed for specialist tasks. Most of the electrical equipment, including the steam turbine turbo generators, was produced by Metropolitan Vickers. The creating of the steel frame began in October 1930. When completed, the construction of the brick cladding began, in March 1931. Prior to the construction of the B Station, the eastern wall of the boiler house was clad in corrugated metal sheeting as a temporary enclosure. The A Station very first generated electricity in 1933, but was not completed till 1935. The total cost of its construction came to 2,141,550. Between construction beginning, in 1929, and 1933 there had been 6 fatal and 121 non-fatal accidents on the site.
A short number of months after the Second World War, construction commenced on the second phase, the B Station. The station came into operation gradually between 1953 to 1955. It was identical to the A Station from the outside and was constructed directly to its east as a mirror to it, which gave the power station its now familiar four-chimney layout. The construction of the B Station brought the site’s generating capacity up to 509 megawatts (MW), making it the third largest generating website within the UK at the time, providing a fifth of London’s electricity needs. It was also the most thermally efficient power station within the world when it opened.
The A Station had been operated by the London Power Organization, but by the time the B Station was completed, the UK’s electric supply business had been nationalised, and ownership of the two stations had passed into the hands of the British Electricity Authority in 1948. In 1955, this became the Central Electricity Authority, which in turn became the Central Electricity Generating Board in 1957.
On 20 April 1964, the power station was the site of a fire that caused power failures throughout London, including at the BBC Television Centre, which was due to launch BBC Two that night. The launch was delayed till the following day at 11am.
Style and specification
Both of the stations had been designed by a team of architects and engineers. The team was headed by Dr S. Leonard Pearce, the chief engineer of the London Power Organization, but a number of other notable engineers had been also involved, including Henry Newmarch Allott, and T. P. O’Sullivan who was later responsible for the Assembly Hall at Filton. Theo J. Halliday was employed as architect, with Halliday & Agate Co. employed as a sub-consultant. Halliday was responsible for the supervision and execution of the appearance of the exterior and interior of the building. Architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was involved within the project much later on, consulted to appease public reaction, and refer to inside the press as “architect of the exterior”. The station was designed inside the brick-cathedral style of power station design, which had been popular when the stations had been designed within the 1930s and 1940s. Battersea is one of a very modest number of examples of this style of power station style still in existence inside the UK, other survivals being Uskmouth and Bankside. The station’s style proved popular straight away, and was described as a “temple of power”, which ranked equal with St Paul’s Cathedral as a London landmark. In a 1939 survey by Architects Journal, it was ranked as a panel of celebrities’ second most favourite developing.
The A Station’s interior was given many art deco fittings by architect Halliday. The control room was given art deco fittings, Italian marble was used in the turbine hall, and polished parquet floors and wrought iron staircases were employed throughout. Due to a lack of available money following the Second World War, the interior of the B Station was not given the same treatment, and instead the fittings were created from stainless steel.
Each of the two connected stations consist of a long boiler house with a chimney at each end and an adjacent turbine hall. This makes a single main structure which is of steel frame construction with brick cladding. This is similar towards the skyscrapers which had been built in the United States around the same time. The station is the largest brick built structure in Europe. The building’s gross dimensions measure 160metres (520ft) by 170metres (560ft), with the roof of the boiler house standing at over 50metres (160ft). Each of the four chimneys are created from concrete and stand at a height of 103metres (340ft). The station also had jetty facilities for unloading coal, a coal sorting and storage region, control rooms and an admin block.
The A Station generated electricity using three turbo alternators; two with a rating of 69 megawatts (MW) and one with a rating of 105MW. This gave the A Station a producing capacity of 243MW. At the time of its commissioning, the 105MW producing set was the largest in Europe. The B Station had a generating capacity 260MW, which brought the site’s producing capacity of 503MW.
Operations
Coal transportation
Coal was usually brought towards the station by collier ships, and unloaded by cranes, which are still intact on the station’s riverfront
The station had an annual coal consumption of over 1,000,000 tonnes. The majority of this coal was delivered towards the station from coal ports in Wales and North East England by collier ships. The jetty facilities utilized two cranes to off load coal, with the capacity of unloading two ships at one time, at a rate of 480 tonnes an hour. Coal was also delivered by rail to the east of the station using the Brighton Primary Line which passes near the internet site. Coal was usually delivered via the jetty, rather than rail. A conveyor belt program was then utilized to take coal to the coal storage location or directly to the station’s boiler rooms. The conveyor belt program consisted of a series of bridges connected by towers. The coal storage area was a large concrete box capable of holding 75,000 tonnes of coal. This had an overhead gantry with a conveyor belt attached to the conveyor belt program, for taking coal from the coal store to the boiler rooms.
Water program
Water is essential to a thermal power station, as water is heated to create steam to turn the steam turbines. Water cycled through Battersea Power Station’s systems was taken from the River Thames, upon whose banks it had been built. The station would extract an average of 340,000,000 gallons of water from the river each day. As soon as the water had been through the stations’ systems, the water was cooled and discharged back into the river.
The waste heat of the water was also implemented in a district heating scheme. After the end of the Second World War, the London Power Organization took the opportunity to introduce the new innovation in the Battersea station. A district heating scheme (better known now as “cogeneration”) benefitted some 10,000 people. It provided hot water and central heating to newly redeveloped areas within Pimlico, on the opposite side of the river.
Scrubbers
The reduction of sulphur emissions had been an important factor since the station was in the design stages, as it was one of the primary worries of those who protested the construction of the station. The London Power Company began developing an experimental technique for washing the flue gases in 1925. It employed water and alkaline sprays over scrubbers of steel and timber inside the flue ducts. The gases were subject to continuous washing, and with the presence of the catalyst iron oxide, sulphur dioxide was converted into sulphuric acid. Battersea Power Station was one of the first commercial applications of this technique within the world. This method of washing was stopped in the B Station within the 1960s, when it was discovered that the discharge of these products into the Thames, was more harmful towards the river than the gases would be to the atmosphere.
Closure and redevelopment
Closure
The fact that the station’s output continued to grow, coupled with increased operating costs, such as flue gas cleaning, led to Battersea’s demise. On 17 March 1975, the A Station was closed after being in operation for 40 years. By this time the A Station’s was co-firing oil and its producing capacity had reduced to 228MW.
Three years after the closure of the A Station, rumours began to circulate that the B Station would soon follow. A campaign was then launched to try and save the constructing as part of the national heritage. As a result the station was declared a heritage site in 1980, when then Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine, awarded the constructing Grade II listed status. (This was upgraded to Grade II* listed in 2007.) On 31 October 1983 production of electricity at Station B also ended, after nearly 30 years of operation. By then the B Station’s generating capacity had lowered to 146MW. The closure of the two stations was put down largely to the generating equipment becoming out-dated, and due to the preferred choice of fuel for electricity generation shifting from coal toward, oil, gas and nuclear power. Since the station ceased generating electricity, there have been numerous proposals and attempts to redevelop the web site.
Theme park proposal
The station’s roof was removed inside the late 1980s
Following the station’s closure, the Central Electricity Producing Board had planned to demolish the station and sell the land for housing, but due to the fact of the building’s Grade II listed status, they had to pay the high cost of preserving the creating. In 1983 they held a competition for ideas on the redevelopment of the web site. It was won by a consortium including Alton Towers Ltd, which proposed an indoor theme park, based around Britain’s industrial history. At a estimated cost of 35million, the scheme was risky and would require over 2million visitors a year to make any profit. The scheme received planning approval in May 1986 and the site was purchased by John Broome for 1.5million in 1987. Work on converting the internet site began the same year.
The project was halted in March 1989, due to lack of funding, after costs had quickly escalated that January, from 35million to 230million. By this point huge sections of the building’s roof had been removed, so that machinery could be taken out. Without a roof, the building’s steel frame work has been left exposed and its foundations have been prone to flooding.
In March 1990, the proposal was changed to a mixture of offices, shops and a hotel. This proposal was granted planning permission in August 1990, despite opposition from 14 independent organizations, including English Heritage. Despite permission being granted, no further function took place on the web site between 1990 and 1993.
Parkview proposal
In 1993, the internet site and its outstanding debt of 70million had been bought from the Bank of America by Hong Kong based development organization, Parkview International, for 10million. Following resolution of creditors’ claims, it acquired the freehold title in May 1996. In November 1996 plans for the redevelopment of the web site were submitted and outline consent was received in May 1997. Detailed consent for much of the website was granted in August 2000, and the rest in May 2001. The organization received full possession of the site in 2003. Having purchased the web site, Parkview started work on a 1.1billion project to restore the creating and to redevelop the web site into a retail, housing and leisure complex.
Parkview’s project plan, called simply “The Power Station”, was masterminded by architect Nicholas Grimshaw. The scheme proposed a shopping mall, with 40 to 50 restaurants, cafes and bars, 180 shops, also as nightclubs, comedy venues and a cinema. Cosmopolitan shops would have been sited within the A Station’s turbine hall, and label name shops within the B Station’s turbine hall. The boiler would have been glazed over and utilized as a public space for installations and exhibitions. A riverside walkway would also be created, running continuously along the riverside from Vauxhall to Battersea Park.

Parkview claimed that 3,000 jobs would be created during the construction of the project, and 9,000 would be employed when completed, with an emphasis on nearby recruitment. The Battersea Power Station Community Group campaigned against the Parkview plan and argued for an alternative community-based scheme to be drawn up. The group described the plans as “a deeply unattractive project that has no affordable housing anywhere on the 38-acre (150,000m2) internet site, no decent jobs for local people and no credible public transport strategy”. They also criticised how appropriate the project was in its location, and proposal of other big buildings on the site. Keith Garner of the group said “I feel that there a real problem of appropriateness. They need a completely different kind of scheme, not this airport-lounge treatment. What you see now is a majestic constructing looming up from the river. If you surround it with buildings 15 storeys high, you don have a landmark any more.”
In 2005 Parkview, English Heritage and the London Borough of Wandsworth claimed that the reinforcement inside the chimneys was corroded and irreparable. Wandsworth Council granted permission for them to be demolished and rebuilt. However, the Twentieth Century Society, the World Monuments Fund and the Battersea Power Station Company Ltd commissioned an alternative engineers’ report that claimed that the existing chimneys could be repaired. In response, Parkview claimed to have given a legally binding undertaking to the council to provide certainty that the chimneys will be replaced “like for like”, in accordance with the requirements of English Heritage and the planning authorities.
REO proposal
The power station seen from the South Eastern railway
On 30 November 2006, it was announced that Real Estate Opportunities, led by Irish businessmen Richard Barrett and Johnny Ronan of Treasury Holdings, had purchased Battersea Power Station and the surrounding land for 532 million (400 million). REO subsequently announced that the previous plan by Parkview had been dropped and that it had appointed the practice of the Uruguayan-born architect Rafael Violy, of New York as the new master planner for the web site. The engineers Roger Preston & Partners and Buro Happold had been retained on the design team.
They announced their 4billion plans in 2008. They include reusing part of the station developing as a power station, fueled by biomass and waste. The station’s existing chimneys could be utilised for venting steam. The former turbine halls could be converted to shopping spaces, and the roofless boiler house used as a park. An energy museum would also be housed inside the former station building. The restoration of the power station developing would cost 150 million.
A plastic built “eco-dome” is also to be built to the east of the power station. This creating was originally planned to have a significant 300metres (980ft) chimney, but this has now been abandoned in favour of a series of smaller towers. The eco-dome would house offices, and aim to reduce energy consumption in the buildings by 67% compared to conventional office buildings, by using the towers to draw cool air through the developing. 3,200 new homes would also be built on the web site to house 7,000 people.
An essential part of the regeneration is an extension of the London Underground to service the area. The proposed extension would branch from the Northern Line at Kennington and travel west to Nine Elms and Battersea. The proposed extension would cost 350 million and could be funded by REO and other significant land owners in the Nine Elms location, making it the initial privately funded extension of the London Underground.
In June 2008 a consultation process was launched, which revealed that 66% of the general public were in favour of the plans. At an event at the station on 23 March 2009, it was announced that REO were to submit the planning application for their proposal to Wandsworth Council. REO hope for construction to begin in 2011, with completion of the project by 2020.
Cultural impact
Battersea Power Station, seen from a tourist boat on the River Thames
Battersea Power Station has been featured in many forms of media and culture: it can be seen on numerous album covers by rock and pop groups, in a number of music videos, and has appeared in many films and television programmes in its more than 70 year history.
Music
Album artwork
The Battersea Power Station Community Group think one of the main reasons for the power station’s worldwide recognition is due to it having appeared on the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album, Animals, where it was photographed with the group’s inflatable pink pig floating above it. The photographs had been taken in early December 1976 and the inflatable pig was made by the Zeppelin Airship business. The inflatable pig was tethered to one of the power station’s southern chimneys, but broke loose from its moorings and, towards the astonishment of pilots in approaching planes, rose into the flight path of Heathrow Airport. Police helicopters tracked its course, until it landed in Kent. Video footage of the photoshoot was used in the promotional video for Pigs on the Wing. The album was officially launched at an event at the power station.
The Pink Floyd image has been parodied and paid homage to, for instance on:
The cover of The Orb’s 1991 album, Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld.
The back cover of Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade’s 2001 album, Live Frogs Set 2, which is a full cover of Pink Floyd’s Animals.
The station can also be seen on various other pieces of album artwork, including:
The booklet art for The Who’s 1973 album, Quadrophenia.
The photograph on the sleeve of Hawkwind’s 1977 album, Quark, Strangeness and Charm, is of the B Station’s control room.
The cover of Jan Hammer’s 1988 12″ single of “The Runner (marathon mix)”.
The back cover of Morrissey’s 1990 album Bona Drag.
The background art for the cover of the 2001 Petula Clark boxed set, Meet Me in Battersea Park.
The cover of London Elektricity’s 2005 album, Power Ballads. Silhouettes of the station’s coal cranes had been employed on the cover of the group’s Hanging Rock single.
A photograph on the inside case of Muse’s 2009 album, The Resistance.
Music videos
The power station has often been employed as a shooting location or as a back drop in music artists’ promotional videos. Such uses include:
Footage from the photoshoot of the cover of Pink Floyd’s Animals is used in a video for their 1977 song “Pigs on the Wing”. During the song “Money” at their 2005 Live 8 performance, the power station was briefly shown when the camera panned out away from the stage.
The Jam shot the promotional video for their 1978 single “News Of The World” on the roof of the power station. Photos from the shoot featuring the station also appear on the sleeve of the “Snap!” compilation album.
Tori Amos filmed the video for her 1996 single “Talula” inside the station.
A scene from Bill Wyman’s promotional video for his 1981 single, “Je Suis un Rock Star”, shows the station inside the background.
The station appears inside the 1997 music video by American pop band Hanson, for their song “Where’s the Love”.
It was rented by Bruce Dickinson in 1999 to be a film location for the video to “Man Of Sorrows”.
The band Biffy Clyro shot the music video for their 2010 single, “Many Of Horror”, at the station.
Television and film
The station was utilized inside the opening scene of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1936 film, Sabotage.
Within the show’s history, it has appeared numerous times within the British science fiction series Doctor Who. It appeared briefly inside the episode The Dalek Invasion of Earth in 1964, which saw the station within the 22nd century with two chimneys demolished, and a nearby nuclear reactor dome. It appeared again in the 2006 Doctor Who episodes “Rise of the Cybermen” and “The Age of Steel” as the base to which Londoners are drawn to be converted into Cybermen.
It appeared briefly in the Beatles’ 1965 film Help!, with a caption identifying it as “a renowned power station”.
The station is seen in the 1967 science fiction film The Projected Man.
The A Station’s control room was utilized as the location for the “Find The Fish” segment of Monty Python’s 1983 film The Meaning of Life.
It was utilised as the external faade of the Victory Mansions in Michael Radford’s 1984 film adaptation of George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Scenes of Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 film Full Metal Jacket had been shot inside the power station.
A stylized image of the station appears in the title sequence of Agatha Christie’s Poirot, which began airing in 1989.
The power station was the location for a weather changing machine within the children’s sci-fi series “The Tomorrow People” in 1994 within the episode “Monsoon Man”.
The station stood in for an Eastern European military camp within the 1994 MacGyver TV movie, The Lost Treasure of Atlantis.
In Ian McKellen’s 1995 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III, the derelict power station stands in for Bosworth Field in Richard’s final battle scene.
In the “Knightsbridge” episode of Neil Gaiman’s 1996 television series Neverwhere, the station appears as the aboveground landmark for the London Below Floating Market.
A computer generated version of the power station appeared briefly inside the background of a 2006 episode of the ABC television series Lost entitled “Fire and Water”, sporting an identifying sign saying “Widmore Construction”. This was the very first introduced of one of the show’s principal antagonists, Charles Widmore.
In Alfonso Cuarn’s 2006 film, Children of Men, the station appears converted as the “Ark Of Art” in 2027. The developing contains art treasures salvaged from nations whose governments have collapsed and preserved for a “posterity”. It contains a shattered and rebuilt Michelangelo’s David, and Picasso’s Guernica. An inflatable pig is tethered towards the exterior of the developing, a reference towards the Animals album cover.
In May 2007, Battersea Power Station played a central role in episode 5 of series 4 of the BBC TV series New Tricks.
In October 2007, the power station was used as a filming location for the Batman movie, The Dark Knight. The station’s stripped, empty interior was utilized as a setting for a burnt out warehouse.
Starting in December 2007, the interior of the power station was employed inside the film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Other uses in culture
The “Advanced Power Plant” structure inside the 1996 PC game Command & Conquer: Red Alert closely resembles the power station.
The station is featured inside the 1999 video game, Grand Theft Auto: London.
A brown version of the power station can be seen within the 2001 video game Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, in the mission “Invincible Fleet”.
In recent years, the developing has played host to concerts and to performances by the Cirque du Soleil. In 2000, the firm voiced plans to permanently convert the constructing into an “urban circus”.
In 2004, photographer Vera Lutter employed the station in several pieces of her function. She created the photographs by turning shipping containers into giant pinhole cameras and placing them in front of the constructing for many days.
Between the 8 October and 5 November 2006, the Serpentine Gallery took up residence in the power station for the exhibition China Power Station: Part I. It displayed the work of “an extraordinary and vibrant new generation of Chinese artists and architects”.
