Tuesday 27 May 2025. As I look out of the window, I'm learning more than I thought I needed to about the demolition process. The broken up rubble is taken by truck to a machine I can't see, where it is pulverised and then taken to the mound at the back of the photo, on the left. From here, bucketfuls are dropped onto the conveyor belt of another machine that pulverises the material further, before another JCB scoops it up and deposits it onto the pile at the back of the photo on the right. It is mesmerising to watch.
There are plenty of men in hi vis and hard hats around to watch the excavators pulverising and scooping up the rubble from the former RAC call centre.
I've been interested by the way the excavators are each perched on their own rubble mound.
It has been a bit like being on an urban safari, watching the demolition. Excavators as wild animals.
