Falling Chimney - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in Bromley-le-Bow's history - the demolition of a towering chimney on the grounds of an old chemical factory. Taken by Graham Wood on April 8th, 1974, this image transports us back to a time when industry and progress were at their peak. The landscape format emphasizes the sheer magnitude of this architectural marvel as it succumbs to destruction. The billowing smoke from the falling chimney creates an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere, symbolizing both the end of an era and new beginnings.

This print serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes with sacrifice; while one chapter ends with demolishing chimneys like these, another begins with cleaner skies and safer environments for future generations.
