Classic pictures from a 1970 chimney demolition


What was it like demolishing a chimney in 1970? How about 3 men, a few ropes, and some hand tools? Don't believe me? Then you need to take a look at the demolition gallery over on GetReading (link below).

The gallery is full of black & white photographs captured on a chimney demolition in early 1970. The chimney in question was owned by the Electricity Board and located at Vastern Road in Caversham and Reading.

Were you working demolition in the 70's? Is this a blast from the past or an eye opener about how it used to be?

If you need to demolish a chimney like this in 2014 put your men on a C&D Work at Height course before you start. Contact margaret@demolishdismantle.co.uk for more information.
