Flour mill. They're always difficult to demolish, as they're so
strongly constructed. Must be one of the few buildings where you could
tip it on its side without it immediately self-dismantling under
gravity.

One does wonder though just WTF the demolition engineer thought he was
doing with such asymmetry though?

Next morning, full page ads in many of the daily papers, with a
super cool bloke standing in the foreground smoking a cigar, with
the half demolished leaning building in the background, and the slogan
"Happyness is a cigar called Hamlet". You had to admire the speed
that Hamlet and their advertising agency got that into print.



I have only been to one demolition. That also did not go as planned.
