Of course we should celebrate the end of coal fired power in Britain but I'm glad we have photographic records of our industrial past. This photo from Lancashire born Michael Kenna is from a series about Ratcliffe Power Station. Taken 40 yrs ago since I'm doing 40 Yr anniversaries today...

Black and white long exposure photograph showing steam coming from the cooling towers of Ratcliffe Power Station; the last coal power station in Britain which closed today. Michael Kenna.

I will share my awareness of family history with Brennan today. Hopefully soon his girlfriend will get her visa to join him. His brother intends to visit in the new year and my wife and I will come a little later. 6/
