They didn't even come down this weekend it was the one before. Really gutted about not seeing this, would have loved to see these go. Was only sat in a yard over the road a few weeks back admiring them. Thinking, now camel lairds cranes are gone these are the biggest landmark we have. And now they are gone to.

Just been reading that it was peel holdings who got rid of them. I thought the planning application had been refused. I'm sure it was peel holdings who brought down lairds cranes when Wirral borough council had said wait to see if they could get any ship building work in. Theres a bit of a re occurring thing happening with peel holdings, cranes and get rid for no reason...

Just my ten pence worth anyway. Oh and it was great to see it in the local papers?

I have sifted through the internet before today looking for video footage of camel lairds cranes when they got blown up. But I never found anything. Have you guys found anything?
