Demolition of the Co-Op, High Street

When the Co-Op in High Street was demolished, I was able to take some pictures from the roof of the building next door.

It was strange to see landmarks previously hidden from view, gradually appear as the old building came down.

The quality of my pictures is poor, I'm afraid.










The highlight of the job was the collaspse of the jib on one of the cranes.



H&S did not seem high on the agenda.




I think that the contactor was the same one that was involved in the demolition of a Listed building some years later.
