General notes

"Owing to the number of flue apertures in this chimney, the felling site was greatly restricted and had to be felled parallel with the adjoining power station, having only ten inches margin for the chimney to fall in safe limits. The precision of such an accomplishment will be appreciated. Work of this nature can only be entrusted to steeplejack engineers with proven experience."
