Clinging on

It's hard to believe that the iconic cooling towers at Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station are still scheduled to be demolished in the next couple of years; although the Twentieth Century Society is fighting the good fight to keep some if not all of them, it's not looking good. The TCS was set up to preserve post-1914 architecture; the country's cooling towers, often referred to as the Stonehenge of the 20th century, are fast disappearing. Within ten years the fear is they'll all have been blown to smithereens and will exist only in history books. How tragic would that be?
