There aren’t many more instantly recognisable buildings across the UK than Battersea Power Station, a decommissioned coal-fired power station. First built with two parallel chimneys in 1929, the iconic four-chimney structure we know today was not added until 1937 to keep up with demand for coal power in the nation’s capital. Today it stands as a national monument symbolising Britain’s industrial heritage. Battersea was decommissioned as a power station in the late 70s, but it has remained a hugely important site in popular culture. Since the construction of its third and fourth chimneys appeared in the Alfred Hitchcock film Sabotage, Battersea Power Station has featured in ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Monty Python’ and even on the cover of a Pink Floyd Album.

Recently the power station has taken on a new life. Having been derelict for many years, a major construction project has sought to transform the old structure into trendy housing overlooking the River Thames. Of course, the iconic four towers at each corner of the building remain as a reminder of the cultural and industrial relevance of the site.

Something to think about when you’re drying your dishes with this stunning tea towel!

Half Panama unbleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.

    I bought this for my sister who lives in America as we lived very close to the power station when we were kids. I have just posted it her & I am sure it will bring back great memories.
