Health and safety folk, look away now.
This video – supposedly featuring demolition circa 1971 – just surfaced on YouTube for no apparent reason. However, it is one of a number of old time demolition videos on offer from the British Pathe new channel.
Sadly, the audio is missing but that doesn’t detract from the “pleasures” of seeing recyclable materials being thrown INTO a house that’s on fire, or the wry smile caused by seeing a pair or workers armed with picks effectively breaking out the roof upon which they are stood.
