So in just over a month’s time it will never be possible to capture such an image again. Ratcliffe upon Trent power station, the final coal powered power station in Britain, will be slowly powered down and the fires steadily extinguished. Something that has, for much of my life, just been there will slowly disappear, perhaps not as suddenly as the collieries that once served her or her other sisters along the banks of the River Trent with an ending supply of coal. Yet it is now ending. I know and accept the clear arguments for moving to a more ecologically sustainable power supply. Yet I will miss her.
