Demolition of the kiddy silos - July 12

I'm quite suprised that no one has beat me to this sad announcement of the recent demolition, or maybe they have and I'm bieng stupid! :/
I'm not going to dwell into the history of this place as there is plenty of it about.
What I will say is that anyone who hasn't taken the opportunity to visit the silos for the 10 years that they haven't been occupied has seriously lost out on such an iconic and a once in a lifetime mother of mooches.
I don't post many threads here I do apologies profusely... That's what happens when my apreciation factor values the picture it sees with the eyes than taking piccies with a camera. Selfish bastard me I know!

However, this was worth the watch, and a few snaps on the iPhone.







One for the artist approach



And one from the many of visits there.



I found this video on YouTube to get a scale of these monsters
