Agreed.

Apparently there are calls to save it, as a historic monument.

Probably from people not living anywhere within striking distance of it.

Don't see how they can save or preserve it when its falling to bits, but I agree it will probably be people living a long way away that want it saving.I just hope that nothing serious were to happen because if it did, when all the warning signs were there, and all the attention it has had, I wouldnt like to be held accountable to it

You won't.

You've done more than your fair share to highlight the danger it poses.

Others would have to be held accountable.

I know it's a long shot but it wouldn't cost about 10k would it ?

Ya G usually English Heritage, they're very good at wanting to save things like this but less forthcoming when the money needs finding to do so

I see you connection Dave, but the truth is that to save this, the financing for the project would be expected to be met by the owner, who, will not get any benefit out of the exercise what so ever. If it was saved what use would it be? None, and I can assure you it would cost far in excess of 10k matey

I don't live near it but if it was to fall I would feel the pain just as if I did because,

It's a chimney of no use whatsoever get it knocked down, the area cleaned up and modern factory units in place, maybe that would attract jobs to the area?

But to do that Less you'd need a very very sharp pair of scissors

to cut through all the flaming red tape, I know a little about what went on when the first fire happened, there are so many faceless wonders sicking their ore in its unbelievable

Whoever set the fires didn't really think about it did they?

Chimneys are fireproof.

It only serves one useful purpose now.

It's location, directly opposite the Conservative club.

It acts as a handy landmark, for Conservative seasiders and Londoners, coming to be interviewed as prospective parlimentary candidates, when none of the locals are willing to lend them a guiding hand, by offering them directions.

With the wind we had last night and if it did not fell off it just shows it was made to last.

Somehow I think they could safely knock it down G. as I doubt it will be needed for that purpose in any future elections
