Bell Street car park in Stourbridge imploded

Anyone who has visited Stourbridge over the past few years couldn't help but notice the large, concrete multi-storey car park on the ring road known as Bell's Street car park. In fact, in 2008-2009 I parked there every day. It was definitely somewhere you didn't want to walk around late at night, and navigating the levels, even in a small car, was an exercise in inch-perfect cornering.

Over the weekend that car park disappeared from the skyline. DSM Demolition used 30kg of explosives to bring down the concrete structure, which will now make way for a new supermarket and hopefully help to regenerate the whole area. With that being the case I'm sure the 120 people who were evacuated from their homes during the blast didn't mind too much.
