When artist Roy Young heard about the closure of the UK's last coal-fired power station, he was determined to put brush to canvas to document the site's final days.
Roy, who lives near Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire, contacted owners Uniper in spring last year.
"I thought that I really need to get closer to the thing that I've always seen, and try to represent in an artistic way the last year or so of its working life," he said.
Armed with safety training and protective equipment, Roy spent more than a year as "artist in residence" before the power station closed at the end of September
