Demolition, by hand
Image: © Pauline E Taken: 2 Dec 2012
Following a landslip last Tuesday, some of the houses on Aelfleda Terrace have been declared unsafe and demolition has begun. Due to the precarious nature of the job, it is being undertaken by hand, brick by brick. At this point, the dormers and roofs have been removed and work is underway on the chimney stack. The gardens, fences and patios are slipping down the hillside towards the building below. For news story, see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-20565525
