Ratcliffe-on-Soar, Nottinghamshire.

In the shadow of several huge cooling towers you can find a boat yard. Spread out over fields, scattered wide and packed close, boats propped on stands in various states of repair share the river and landscape with the UK's last remaining coal fired power station. Sitting together in a sort of strange but beautiful company. Both boats and chimneys coexist in an unlikely visual harmony jointly occupying the same space, if only for a short while longer.

The soon-to-be decommissioned power station is on borrowed time, closing its doors within a year. Its imposing towers are due to be detonated in a spectacular 'blow-down' event, the boats will soon lose their towering industrial companions.
