Hi, well, it was all over so quickly, some of my photos are blurred. Sorry about that. I found it "very emotional" when the chimney came down. A sad day. Good job done by the steeplejacks! Very professionally carried out! Fred Dibnah would have been proud of you all!
I think we should just find out many, or how few, mill chimneys we now have left in Hyndburn. I know of two I can think of immediately, the old "Toffy Hodgson's" - behind Cotton Street, and the one still standing on Victoria Street.
Hi TactZilla, great footage any chance of a copy i was that busy i hadn't time to set my camera. just watched it and it does look like you had the best spot to film. John
