Fiddlers ferry demolition, Before and after December 2023
In this update we see the 4 north cooling towers disappear from the sky line for ever. Blown up on a foggy December morning with very low visibility. My location was zero visibility so demolition you see is from the Team who done the demolition. The before and after was recorded by me.

Fascinating video Paul. I wasn’t expecting all four to go at once but I suppose it makes good sense. Those close-ups were scarily close. Thanks for sharing buddy
It saddens me to see the start of the demolition of fiddlers ferry . I had the same emotions when I was a small boy watching the same happened to a power station my dad and uncle worked at many years ago.
Paul the house where i live which is just over 1/2 mile away from the power station shook when the cooling towers came down, it was like an earthquake

Another top drawer video Frosty 👍👍 Was the close up drone coverage of the exploding towers the demo guys handiwork & why it's called Fiddlers Ferry?

Yes that was their footage. All I seen was a wall of fog. (Gutted) it was named after a near by pub called the ferry inn which stood on the site of an old ferry route across the Mersey.

@@veryhighguy Bugger, real shame for you. However it's a fantastic addendum to your great coverage 👍 Ahh thanks for the info. Always love hearing how places past & present got their names. Now I've got Gerry & the Pacemakers & Chris de Burgh playing in my head 😂👍

Yeah it was a mistake, it should of said the closure was announced in 2017. It was published by the time I realised but just left it
