Ma has just rung me and told me that the chaps have been working like demons since first light, and that they are making great inroads into what was left of the building.
I will be over there on Monday so I will take my little camera and hopefully get some pics.

Re: Woodnook mill.

Just a quickie, in Atarah's first photo would that be roughly where the rail line crossed the road?
Thanks

Makes sense though that they will not pull the chimney down until all the storeys have been demolished, so that it just falls on the rubble.

The steeplejacks may just be waiting until this has been achieved ... although they must have some sort of predicted schedule ?

Think Tom knows more than what he is telling us ...

Not many big ole chimneys left now, slowly the industrial marks are being removed.
