I used to visit my auntie in Octavia Court in the 70s when I was wee and it was a dive back then. I can only imagine what it was like more recently.

excellent vid. I’ve added a response of a time lapse vid from a serious of still shots taken from the lower path
Was there a particular reason they demolished it at night? This seems unusual to me.
Damn… Not cool!
They have to do it at night because it was right next to a major train track, so it could only been done while train services were not being on
@MrCharcharchar You spell just like the policeman in Allo Allo talks.
