Battersea Power Station actually comprises two power stations, built in two stages in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, in the 1950s. They were built to a near-identical design, providing the four-chimney structure. The Power Station was decommissioned between 1975 and 1983 and remained empty until 2014. It was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1980. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battersea_Power_Station for a full history. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. This is inside the revamped Battersea Power Station and was the turbine hall of Battersea A Power Station which was built between 1929 and 1935. See also https://batterseapowerstation.co.uk/
