Haven't a clue, its a while since I helped me old mate Fred on Chimneys.
First it will take 3-4 men to ladder the thing and put the scaffold up, next they will need a chute to drop the bricks down, then wagons to sift the rubble (100,000 bricks) and men to load the wagons, how much does that come to in wages,
at todays rates for a fortnights work.
More than likely try to get away with reducing it to about 20/30 ft and leave it, theres not much room to work round the bottom of that site.
Fred and I laddered the chimney from the back alley that runs from Rhyddings St to Charles St.

Retlaw.
