Re: Woodnook mill.

WOW! That was awesome, tho the poor old chimney was a bit stubborn taking 30mins to come down lol. It was a nice clean quiet fell, very impressed I wanna work in demolition now hehehe Great to meet u wadey, depite the cold & rain & a good view point i enjoyed the show

Well done to all the demolition team for a good job Only downside was the traffic control as many didnt know road round corner was closed off during the time the work was being carried off.

Excellent Wadey ... thanks for those. Well done Steeplejack !

Suppose it is sorta' sad really. How long does it take to build a chimney like that I wonder ?

I couldn't get there .. just a few shots of the aftermath about 3.30.

Thanks to everybody for coming today, the chimney went well and as expected, it is a rare sight these days to watch a chimney felling, looking forward to seeing more of your photo's, also thanks to accywebbers for the nice pressie left for me in my cab, if you look on lancashire evening telegraph and search for chimney demolition hapton you will see short video of another felling we did a few months ago, nice to meet you Wadey and Atarah, merry christmas and happy new year John PS will sort some photo's out but please be patient i have thousands to go through

Re: Woodnook mill.

My first post here.

I've been following the thread hoping to be able to be at the demolition and I was lucky enough to be there today. I signed up for an account this evening so I can let you guys know I caught it all on film and will be posting it up on youtube sometime tomorrow all being well.

You did a great job John. It did take a while and my camera was getting rained on, but we got the money shot in the end. Took me a while to thaw out my hands afterwards.

Regards
Bob
