Superb new video of the demolition of "the mouth of Hell"
On Sunday I posted a video of the demolition of Greyfriars bus station, Northampton - known affectionately to locals as "the mouth of Hell".
I have now come across this superb footage, which was shot by the demolition contractors themselves.

I know we are all supposed to hate the Greyfriars Bus Station BUT at least you could await your bus in the dry and vaguely warm.
AIUI catching a National Express coach now involves wandering central Northampton to find a roadside shelter.
I have always striven to be fair to the old place, but I take it as a minimum requirement for a public building that it should not kill the people who use it.
As to the new arrangements... as far as buses to and from Market Harborough are concerned, I have no complaints.

Allegedly.
