The demolition of the Ironbridge Cooling Towers 06-12-2019

Not my photos , but I arranged these in a collage to remember this day . I feel rather sad in seeing this landmark demolished , especially as my late husband worked with the civil engineering company when they were built . Now a whole new village will be built on the site over the next 15 years ! At least in this case they are going to build on brown land and not green land ,
Just saw this on the lunchtime news.

What a interesting piece of history and so personal to you Beryl, nice series of photos showing their demise.

Poof! and they are gone! Great to see all three stages!

Great memory of the past. Do they not decontaminate the area before they build on it?

A big day in your area Beryl, the whole skyline must have changed! Progress I suppose but rather sad in theory! You have a very poignant reason to be sad too & of course always houses waiting to be built on any spare piece of land.

Cooling towers are definitely a thing of the past, but it is sad to see them be demolished.

This is sad. I Know how you feel. My late husband planted about 200 trees on our piece of land from 1983. They are all dying now because of the drought. Somehow I do have to deal with it....

Nicely arranged collage. If it weren't part of your 'heritage' and your late husband's story, I would say 'good riddance' but, on the other hand, if it finishes up as a jungle of apartment blocks than better these furnaces.

Nice collage. I like your arrangement. These look like the ones around here at nuclear power plants. I find them a bit unnerving because there are always evacuation routes from them in case anything goes wrong.

A great collage, even if pictures are not yours.
December 7th, 2019  
Great collage! Always find these demolitions fascinating!
