is the chimney being demolished? maybe they will do a fred dibnah style demolition or it is more likely that they will get a crane and take it down brick by brick, how boring!

Got there this morning. It was a peaceful explore, but I'd say that 80% of it is now demoed. Got to see a lot of the graffiti - some of it is amazing.
I'm just off to post my pictures!
