Battersea - Old and New

Battersea is a traditional working class area of London that is undergoing an astonishing amount of change.  Many of the old buildings are being redeveloped or demolished, and whole new areas of waterfront apartments are being built.  London brick is making way for glass and chrome.  I though I'd take a few photos to document some of the more interesting old and new architectures in the area.



Battersea Power Station

A massive structure that was left derelict for the best part of 20 years.  Now it's one huge building site and a great thing to photograph.





Cringle Street leads right up the the Power Station.

Traditional working class terraces were build to house the workers at the Power Station.




There are a maze of tunnels and bridges as the train lines converge into London.










Old buildings that have been boarded up for years will soon be replaced with sleek modern structures.
