Matt Two iconic cooling towers have been demolished in Sheffield last night http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sout ... 578266.stm It's a real shame to be honest, because they are some of the last bits of the old Sheffield
vocky I remember them well. I suppose for local people they were part of everyday life, but they were an eyesore really, just great big lumps of concrete.

No mate, these are one of the eyesores of Sheffield: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Hill,_Sheffield Park Hill Flats. For some reason, they were made into a Grade 2 listed building notsure.gif

Matt No mate, the one on the right in the images above fell onto itself, and there was still quite a bit left standing after the explosion
Sjdickso Some cracking pictures. It will be slightly odd not seeing them day in day out as said it was a mark that i was on my way home.
