Drone footage Hartford Mill Chimney Tribute and Demolition 1st October 2023

[@ausfoodgarden]

I'm so glad you were able to put some great footage of this together Colin. Our family house was on Edward Street right out the front (back?) of Hartford Mill. Of course, the houses and the mill have been gone a while. The chimney was the last remnant of my childhood there. Thanks for this. Cheers!

Hartford Mill is a long ongoing project for me, there will be plenty more footage coming soon. Thanks

Nice footage Colin. Sad to see it go. Like when Fred Dibnah was doing them.👍

I literally though the chimney was still up when I discovered it yesterday. I need nore demolition news,

I lived on Lansdowne Road, opposite Edward St. Walked up past it to Werneth Station going to work at Victoria booking office. Well Werneth is gone and so is Hartford mill….any bets on Victoria booking office? (“Keep it up gentlemen..you should see ‘em at London Road…”)

They've finished "improving" Manchester Victoria for now...
