    It was definitely Heineken, i still have the lanyard!

    It was ' fight like apes' and 'rarely seen above ground'. 2009.

    Yeah, this building seems to be taking the longest. Its addictive to watch. The amount of wood stacked up already is amazing.

    I know it was posted here before (like 7 years ago!) but there are some photos here of the inside on the mills.

    I really love these photos, I was never brave enough to explore them.

    Anyone remember the Heiniken sponsored band that played down there about 10 years ago?


    Amazing pics from on there.

    Heineken had nights in the forum a few times. Friendly Fires, Casiokids, The cocknbullkid and The Scissor Sisters also played there at some stage along with a few other bands. There was also a night held in the carpark in New street but i can't remember who played or who it was ran by.

    Aquos76 you're brilliant with all the updates. Would I be right in think those silos will come down quick enough? Yeah I was at the Coors Light Peak in 2009 I think, it would be a great location for similiar type events a la the Bolton street concerts. Is there a time frame for the complete demolition? Id assume by August or September?

    No idea where it's been taken to, but so far it's just the steel and the metal that's been removed, all the wood and rubble is still left onsite. The steel and metal has been loaded on to trucks.

    steel and metal is valuable and will probably end up in a blast furnace somewhere, wood and rubble on the other hand has more or less no value at all and will more than likely end up in a landfill somewhere.

    an environmental report would have been done long go on this. if you can find it on the weird wide web, you may find out exactly where all materials are going.

    Not much happening down there since last week, only two silos gone so far and there was actually no work carried out on site at all yesterday. I haven't been down that way yet today to see if work has resumed or not.

    Seen a Scrap / Waste Lorry in there today but you right its all very quiet again. Builders holidays aren't that far away in the grand scheme of things so judging by progress to date we will be having this conversation again in September.

    I saw it yesterday from across the river and I thought it was beginning to change appearance quite dramatically.

    The seem to be moving again this week - most of the work is concentrating on the Green "Simplex" Silos , a few more are down on the Ferrybank Side and one on the river side , I am guessing it will be after the bank holiday before its very noticeable from the city side.

    Elsewhere on site the crews seem to be focusing on processing the rubble / scrap / wood from what has already been knocked down hence no build buildings coming down.

    There's actually one gone already, there were originally 5 facing towards the river. Hopefully the remaining 4 will go this week as they are trying to create an access point to the building where the poster is normally mounted as that's the next building to be tackled apparently.

    Great pictures man, is there any chance of getting one from the town side of the river to see the difference from that side?
