Ratcliffe-on-Soar: End of an era as UK's last coal-fired power station shuts down
The Ratcliffe Power Station in Nottinghamshire has closed after 57 years of operation. It was the UK's last coal-fired power station, which generated electricity for more than 500,000 homes over an eight-hour period. It has a long history, with some controversies - yet it has meant a lot to local communities over the years.
