The Big Tower, Camouflaged

In 1939, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, the Air Ministry began an extensive programme of disguising industrial buildings, typically with images of the suburbs. Colin Moss was employed on this programme and was transferred to the Ministry of Home Security's Camouflage Directorate at Leamington Spa at the outbreak of war. Along with other artists, he was given a months leave to record his designs, in this case Stonebridge Park Power Station near Wembley.
