    I think i would have kicked myself the rest of my LIFE if i had not have done it, I've had my eyes on them for years, glad to have got at least one under my belt before they came down.

    Well documented - nice one for doing the climb and catching the final demise too.

    Top stuff!! Brilliant and well done.... I am just so annoyed I was not around at home to see them come down last Friday - Work eh! Great pics and really the end of an era following the 3 years of Swan Hunters being demolished, sad times indeed!

    It is, indeed the end of an era.
    I took mini mudlark to see it too, i figured she aught to know, as most of the rest of her generation will have no idea what put the town she came from on the map.
    THATS the tragedy.
