A series of pictures taken by Carol Richardson from 16 Kingsley Avenue and provides a view of the demolition from a different angle
|
|
Here we can see that the explosions have already accounted for the flats in the centre (Jonson, Milton and Browning).
|
|
And now Keats is beginning to collapse
|
|
We can see Cowper House still standing on the right but Keats Court is now just a pile of rubble |
|
|
|
The following are a series of photographs taken by Paul Collins. They show John Bacon Court, and Chaucer Court from just before the demolition until the end.
|
|
The flats are cordoned off ready for the explosion
|
|
Yiu can see that the flats have been hollowed out and had all the glass removed
|
|
A stunning picture of the collapse of John Bacon Court
|
|
And down it goes
|
|
Now just smoke and dust
|
|
The smoke and dust pushes further out
