Battersea Power Station

This guide to Battersea Power Station in London opens on a single mishap: December 1976, when Pink Floyd's giant helium pig Algie was moored to the chimneys for an album photo shoot, and the marksman meant to bring it down if anything went wrong never turned up. You'll hear about the gust that snapped its moorings, the flight paths it drifted into, and the Kent farmer whose cows had a very bad morning. Listen with the four white chimneys in view, exactly where Algie once floated.
