The massive Reyrolle office building in Hebburn, which towers over the town's Metro station, has stood empty for four years, sparking calls from angry residents and councillors for the seven-storey complex to be flattened. But asbestos had to be stripped from the 1960s building, and there were also complex negotiations between owners Persimmon Homes and transport officials, because of the close proximity of railway lines. http://www.jarrowandhebburngazette.com/latest-news/Work-starts-on-eyesore-demolition.6449767.jp http://www.demolitionnews.com/2010/08/02/another-north-east-eyesore-coming-down/ http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=18557
