Battersea Power Station: Send your pictures

Battersea Power Station has been a London icon since the 1930s

Battersea Power Station is almost a derelict shell compared to its heyday more than 30 years ago, but thanks to its four chimneys it still enjoys iconic status.

The plant operated from 1937 until 1982, with the main building granted Grade II listed status two years before it closed.

After being sold to a developer whose plans for a theme park collapsed, the site was sold on again in 1993 and is now destined to become a huge shopping, leisure, conference and accommodation complex, due to open in 2009.

As part of a picture special focusing on the power station's past, present and future, we would like your pictures - and stories - of the plant.

Perhaps you live nearby and have an unusual view, or you worked there and took some snaps that you would like to share. Or maybe you once captured a one-off moment with the weather or a big event that shows Battersea Power Station in an interesting or unusual way.
