The testing room of White Bay Power Station’s Switch House sits in silence, the remnants of its purpose still clinging to the walls. A rusted metal cabinet stands with its doors ajar, its empty interior a stark contrast to what it once held. Tools, chemicals, or delicate instruments used to monitor the station’s electrical systems. Time has etched its presence into the steel, streaking its surface with corrosion.
Beneath the large, dust-streaked windows, a small sink and workbench remain, their worn surfaces still bearing the marks of past use. Above, pipes and conduits twist along the walls, leading to a compact water tank, its purpose long forgotten. The tiles, once pristine, are now cracked and discolored, their glossy sheen dulled by decades of neglect.
Every element of the room tells a story of precision and routine, of workers who once measured, recorded, and analyzed in this space. Now, the dust has settled, the air is still, and the only movement comes from the shifting light filtering through the weathered glass.
Perfect for those drawn to industrial decay and the passage of time, this print captures the quiet beauty of a space where history lingers in every detail.
