Great Set !!!!
Love these type of pics cranes going up, and being dismantled, must be a great job but it's something I could not do.
I missed the 2 Luffing Jib Cranes being dismantled at the Delemere Bus Station development thats halted and they have taken the Luffers away .
Theres one left at the Gorse Stacks development hope to see that come down, I watch it go up.

How did u know it was coming down or was u just in the right place at the right time ?

Well thing was i was sat in a cafe on the other side of town and i seen them take a piece of the jib away across the sky line so i jumped in the car and got my self around there!! They seem to of done the others on Saturdays as well. Only 2 cranes left now in Liverpool

Excellent !, we watched in amazement a few years back at the cranes going up and eventually down at Bridgewater place in Leeds, too high for cranes to dismantle so they had an attachment that went on half way up that jacked everything above it up, then just slid new pieces in as they required them.
