I will be posting again from Monday.
(If I post it it must be true.)
Thank you for your patience and your sympathy during my extended break.
They blew up the last two cranes at Swan Hunters with dynamite.
I winced when I watched them fall on this video from the BBC.
I will be blogging more about Newcastle again soon on my blog, too.

Yay!
Hi Beth!
I posted the video of the Swan Hunter cranes demolition on the ‘Historic Newcastle’ thread on Skyscraper City, too - very sad.
Great to see you are coming back to the site, all the best kiddo,
