Aug 29, 2008 - Does ANYONE actually read previous comments before commenting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were unstable. They were dangerous. They were pulled down for YOUR safety and for the safety of others!!!

Aug 30, 2008 - I'm really upset that they've gone, I don't live in Sheffield but I go there every week, and you knew exactly where you were when you saw them, I went today, and I actually felt disorientated when I couldn't see them. So now that these Towers have gone, just because they were stood there and they were 'too expensive to keep standing' don't you think the Londoners should demolish Battersea Power Station.... Or is that a 'Landmark of London's Industrial Heritage' ....hmmmm I wonder!!!

bramleybull Says:

Sep 3, 2008 - So sad that they are gone i always looked out for them when me and my wife were driving through sheffield. I particularly liked the one with the diamond shaped holes around the top not seen cooling towers like that before or since. Well done LeonLockley great vid and nice use of the Beatles music. You got that final chord in exactly right place, top stuff.

musli4brekkies Says:

Sep 5, 2008 - That is quite sad if you ask me. I live in sheffield and im convinced that they where the only reasons that anyone knew they where driving past us.

madderthanmadness Says:

Oct 22, 2008 - is that a beatles song, if it is then can some one please tell me which one.... thanx madder than madness

bramleybull Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - Hi madderthanmadness the Beatles song is "A Day In The Life" it is the last track on the Sergeant Pepper album. Also available on the 1967-1970 (blue album) compilation.

bramleybull Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - No cos i always look out for the Hillsborough football ground too (sorry if you are a Blades fan).

musli4brekkies Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - lol. I dont support either but if you are driving on the M1 you dont see Hillsborough.

musli4brekkies Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - They did it because they where unstable and could have collapsed onto the M1. Not a good scenario.
