Nice one MD, it's good to find a demo in progress.

Good but sad. Brick chimneys are becoming a rare site.

Thats great,well captured.

Yes, always a shame to see these go. No doubt that the late great Fred Dibnah would have shed a tear or two

Cracking shots all the same -another piece of history in the making finely captured
