Demolition derby enters final lap!







The demolition of Taberner House is nearing completion, with just a small section left. It's amazing how quickly such a large building has been taken apart, considering its location and the risks involved.

Croydon Council HQ, several of members of my family worked at Taberner House over the years and I visited them at work quite often, so it has some fond memories for me as a boy, going to the top floor and being able to see for miles.

The Croydon skyline has changed - for better or worse. An even taller building is planned for construction on the site. Watch this (or that) space!

Bit by bit

Taberner House is disappearing...

Wrapped!

Taberner House is now fully wrapped up, never to be seen again. 

I was hoping to document its gradual demolition but it will be more like a shrink-wrap!

High St shopping

Say what you like about Croydon, the shops are great! Not!

The planned Westfield can't happen sooner, more choice, more reason to come to the town and a boost to jobs and property prices.
