There is no discernible railway context here: I merely wanted to include an industrial archaeology context to this topic - including some good footage of the professional demolition of a brick chimney.  I'd love to have been there to do that, as appropriate.

From the BBC  news article:

The council said a replica will be built on site to ensure the historic importance of the chimneys will be recognised and memorialised.

Excellent use of taxpayers money!

I don't think they intended to pay for it. They expect the developer to pay!
