How you can watch demolition of Fawley chimney on Sunday 31st October

A LIVE film of the demolition of the Fawley power station chimney will be available online for people to watch the iconic landmark coming down.

From 5.30am on Sunday there will be an exclusion zone around the site and surrounding area, but the historic demolition will be relayed on the internet.

The chimney and southern end of the turbine hall are scheduled for levelling at 7am. The rest of the structures have already come down.

There will also be temporary closures to the B3053 Fawley bypass and local footpaths in the morning.

The demolition will be livestreamed from 6.50am and can be seen at www.fawleywaterside.co.uk

The chimney was built between 1964 and 1971, and the station was in operation a year later.

At the time it was part of the UK’s most efficient power station.

But by 1992 it had become the dirtiest. Modern, more environmentally friendly systems meant the Fawley power station had to close, eventually shutting in 2013.

An £800m housing, shopping and office development is set to be built on the 300-acre site over the next two decades by Fawley Waterside Ltd.
