Demolition of Longbridge
 

On Quest TV now...

You beat me to it :D

New; Scrap Kings S3/E17

Saw it was on, but no desire to see Longbridge being destroyed TBH. Watched the new series of Forged in fire instead.

As a local born within earshot of the Austin 'bull' whilst sad at the demise of the works the transformation is quite remarkable and still plenty of space to go at on the west works site.
Amazing how those machines chomp up girders.

Also amazing how that 75 ton crusher, would cope with girders, without being broken/over loaded.

I wondered if it would be the MGR plant when it mentioned Birmingham,watching the recorded programme now. I'm pleased I have a photo my first 75 outside the gates, just to show MGR did once exist

Back2Back Productions contacted me after viewing my YouTube channel asking if I could provide them with some pictures of older vehicles that had been produced at Longbridge, I sent them ten, five of which are used in the programme.
