A lonely box

Dairycoates West box bites the dust. Responsible for the lines to Hull Western Docks.

A grim day, as demolition days usually are. So much heritage, so much history. All gone.

Good job we have film and photos. Taken in the mid-1980s.

 

Just moments after this pic was taken, the bucket of the JCB pulled down that corner of the roof, and the whole top story of the building collapsed like a pack of cards, suggesting that the wooden uprights at the corners were not all that good to start with.
