After numerous failed redevelopment attempts from various owners, Battersea Power Station is now on the 'buildings at risk' register. Photographer Peter Dazeley set out to document the legendary building as part of a personal project...
'It seems so sad that such a magnificent building has ended up in its present state,' says Dazeley, 'and this series of photographs give a taste of its former splendour.' While photographing the site, Dazeley also realised that it has now become a sanctuary for all sorts of wildlife: pigeons, foxes, and peregrine falcons have all set up home there.
The series started out as a personal project recording the building's decline but the results – which can be seen on his website – are also set to feature in this week's Mail on Sunday Live magazine.
