Demolishing Esplanade House
The machine is nibbling through the horizontal band of reinforced concrete with crocodile-like steel jaws. When it is severed, it will put the jaws outside the section to the right of where the jaws are now and pull inwards. The section of wall will topple inwards quite easily and cleanly, with little sign of a strong connection at its base.

Esplanade House, Southchurch
This is on the old gasworks site- opposite the site of the gasworks jetty - now demolished. I think this monstrous building was initially gas board offices, later credit card offices, now in the (slow) process of demolition.

Esplanade House
Demolition has begun after a seven year wait. Reported in the Southend Standard Saturday, 9 November 2013
A SEAFRONT eyesore could be demolished by next summer. Developers are hopeful Esplanade House, a half-collapsed office block in Eastern Esplanade, will be pulled down within nine months. The demolition of the building is a condition of Premier Inn’s promise to build a 62-bedroom budget hotel on the former gas works next door.

Esplanade House, Eastern Esplanade, Southend
Not for the first time plans are said to be afoot to complete the demolition of Esplanade House and redevelop the former gasworks site on which it stands. Esplanade House was built (I think) after the closure of the gasworks in 1968 and used for a time as offices by North Thames Gas. Demolition began in 2008 but only got so far. Compare this with

Massacre of Mammon
This building in the process of demolition was MasterCards processing centre in Southend-on-Sea. How many lives have been blighted by the easy but unaffordable credit offered from here? Now it and the operatives who thought they earned an honest living through the illusion that is banking are now on the scrap heap. My thoughts on capitalist finance can also be seen at
