Fire Station Tower Comes Down


Last weekend Sheffield pulled down two extremely big cooling towers that had stood by the M1 Motorway for the last 30 years. Millions of motorist had driven past the spot and it must now look a little empty.
Not to be out done Torquay pulled down the practice tower at the Fire Station. It had been there since 1978 but the concrete was cracking up. They will be replaced by a smaller steel structure.
Driving up the Newton Rd won't be the same again.

Good post Dave.
The scaffold held up well and took a few direct hits from the top but all in all every one was pleased the tower has gone.
