Guys,
Iā€™m told the large chimney is coming down on Sunday 24th January 2021 at 8:00am.
No news yet on the towers though, they will be more spectacular.
I might film the chimney as a trial run to get good location for the towers later in the year
Cheers
Steve :slightly_smiling_face:

Not sure what theyā€™re blowing up on that day though?

Thanks @PingSpike Rich
Thatā€™s interesting, Iā€™m asking around to see if we can find out whatā€™s happening next week
I wouldnā€™t be surprised if they do the towers first to avoid them being damaged by the much taller chimneyšŸ™
Damage to the towers would affect how they n come down
Cheers

A far as I can ascertain, they are demolotioning some track and ducting.
Not exciting enough for me to have the day off.
Cheers

Where are you meeting for this?

If Iā€™m coming for the afternoon meet I may as well come a bit earlier amd try and see this.

Iā€™m planning to meet @Steviegeek @9.30. Weā€™ll give the parking address Saturday

Sorry Guys, Sunday morning is looking doubtful for me ATM
House jobs not going to plan :anguished:

I will probably be doing a long distance shot from up on the Chase rather than risk the crowds and officials
