I find it amazing there's no rendering of what the replacement "a new 157-bedroom hotel" will look like - released anywhere . . .

[@irenemilligan3794]

The power of those small hydraulic rams is incredible! How they manage to lift that heavy jib with negligible leverage is unbelievable.

[@dan1strike]

Where would we be without hydraulics ?. Pickaxes haha

[@TonyDoubleTrouble]

@@dan1strike they used to use a crane fitted with a ball and chain.

[@dan1strike]

@@TonyDoubleTrouble Yeah i'm 44 but i do remember seeing a few demo jobs with the wrecking ball in the early 90s. Great fun to watch weren't they

[@TonyDoubleTrouble]

@@dan1strike During my early teens I watched a local cinema being pulled down with one. Although it was during the school holidays I was the only one who was interested enough to watch.

I've stayed in that street many times, shame that this historic building had to go though I'm not sad to Café go, it was awful
