On April the 27th time of the day to be confirmed.
These Cranes are being demolished.

Apparently there is one leg that will be removed
and then "Hopefully" they will fall over?

So lots of room for mistakes there then.

27th is a Sunday.

Thank you to my source

wow that i gotta see!

same here love to see that .The potential for a balls up is immense

Get the sand bags ready if you live near the docks lol they might fall that way

Any idea what time of day they intend to do the deed? I would hate to miss it.

Snod

Are`nt those the ones wheels climbed?

I think so fella

Yep

And ive been told today they had names?
Will get there names again as i'm not 100 %
but its a funny little story that goes with them.

Not sure of the time as of yet, but i have a source
who is trying to find out.

Where are they located?

these are just past the middle bridge off the dock road in seacombe.
Near to the old police station. (see pic)
Duke street

Thanks

Google Map Click Me

Nice one Mark

Yep, these beauties are coming down!!
Sunday 27th, aprox 9am im told today.
The idea is to clear the quayside and lay down sand from the nearby unused sand silos. then 1 quayside leg is to be partly cut thru ( gas axe! ) and a steel blast box ( to control and intensify the blast! ) is to be welded around the back of that leg.
On the day, explosives will be strapped to the inside of that leg ( only one on each crane! ) inside the blast box and a cage and sandbagging piled around to control the blast.
The idea is to blast a leg and make the crane fall onto the sand coated quayside ( sand to prevent damaging the quay surface ) also will be taking out two old light towers in their way!
Probs is that the cabs contain aspestos and need to be removed seperatly by hand / crane beforehand, starting tomorrow,16th.
Ther will be a strict cordoned off area of the surrounding roads, but i think you will all get a good view either on the main corporation road or opposite the docks just over the duke st bridge at the back of the cafe.
Me, im sitting IN the docks, ringside seat!!!! Ant changes will post em asap

Gutted, im going to be away that weekend

I can remember those cranes from when I used to go down the docks for a mooch with my dad when I was very young.

Is that were he took you to do it chewy, at least your coming to terms with it now

He walked right into that one hahaha!

Let's hope the weather is good. I think I will go on the opposite side and set up the vidcam + the SLR with a long lens.

I too have photographed those cranes many time since I first stsrted with a camera in the late 1950s. Local landmark they are

Snod

good idea, may go and take kids to watch

and me plz jonah

We used to climb up them every week and then we found the circuit breaker and started moving them and that 2005-2006 i think we finally got caught by police and got barred from the site, Sad to see these go try and get a time plz

why they pullin them down!!
they still work in every way and form and look a lot better than most other cranes there big barstard

dont worry i've got protestors goin up saturday evening!

Sunday 27th, approx 9am

dooes any1 know why they stopped using them and when??

Apparently they haven't been used for years...
They can only lift 40 tonn.

Probably maintenance and certification (Health and Safety) is the reason they stopped being used.

I believe the current price of scrap metal could be an incentive.

when were they erected? i believe it was late 40s????

Not sure, or i haven't a clue

any pictures?? mail them to me plz [email protected] Many thks

Sad that they're going - I thought they could make a great focal point for the new Wirral Waters development like where there are one or two cranes left in Canary Wharf in London.

It's progress I guess.....

I had a look around today - it will be difficult to get onto the quayside opposite so I may have to stay arond Duke St bridge - unless any of you "moles" know a way in elsewhere.

Snod

I was speakin to the workers 2day, he said the best place is by the cafe on duke street

Very sad and dissapointed there goin tho

Well i'm sure we will have plenty of Before and After Pictures.
Something that wasn't done years ago.

Have ya got any old pics btw? [email protected] thks

I've got the exact time and date:

Sunday 27th april 2008 @ 08:00hrs

NOT 09:00 YOU WILL MISS IT!!!

Ooooo i might be home from my birds on Sunday

I will have to get up early then.

Anyone going along and offer an old soldier a lift?
If not i can use my little legs.

Think I'll be going if I can get up early enough lol

You picking me up mr Mark?

Its this Sunday and i wont have the car
But you have one Mr joe.

well i'll give you a lift then if you don't mind not having a back seat lol

Dump yu bird i'm more important, you know it.
+ She will be fast asleep at 8am lol

ok then the missus is jibbed in favour of our mark.

hows half 7 sound?

Early - But a good time to get our deck chairs out
and also picnic table and tartan blanket if its cold lol.

Cheers Joe. ( don't let me down )

SOMEWHERE I have pics taken in the early/ mid 1960s. They may be colour slides. The problem is that I have about 20,000 unindexed colour slides. Sorting them is one of those jobs I will do when I retire - err, except that was near 10 years ago.

The topic inspires me of course so maybe I will have hunt for the old pics.

Snod

Excellent

yeh if ya can mate plz, where is every1 watchin from? Igot told no1 is allowed near the docks closest is bridge cafe

Is any1 protesting i heard it mentioned cos a lot of ppl don't like the idea of pulling these beuatys down. yet another piece of landmark history getting destroyed of a once booming industry!

Only what's been posted in this thread.

I think over bridge cafe or the other side would be best.
As you have the high walls Birkenhead side.

Pictures from December Click Me

woot!
Somink to try my new camera on
See you guys there

On the pictures youve took mark theyve moved down abit from the location they where in before.. Intresting Also noted that theres Banners on them know Technical Demolition ..

Yeh they have bags around the bottom and such now?

I dunno if ill be there as im probably going to be at me birds, but I may just pop down if im awake early hehe.

not bags matey, that is concrete rubble from a small demolished wall that runs along side them.Im working down there tomorrow, will get ALL the info i can off dock supervisor or can go direct to Technical Demolition, they are both my customers! Hopefully i will have a ringside seat as im "in the band"!!
Hopefully post all i know tomorrow

Cheers

Update :

The Cranes are coming down at 8am.
Docks and Dock Road Closed from 7am.
Anyone past those points is being counted in and out.
So if you need a spek you need to get there pre 7am.

Just got a text from my source, so take the above how you
wish will update later if i get more info.

The Head count is only for Dock Employees that are wanting
to watch from with in the Docks.

But its probable the roads to cars in the surrounding area's
will be closed off by 7am.

So a little park and ride

so will i get in if i get there b4 7am or wot??

I think what Mark means is roads may be closed off around there, so before 7am, you can get through the roads by car, after 7am, the roads are closed and the only access is by foot.

oh of course wheres the best place 2 stand then i was finkin the old railway lines by custody suite

probably not, as theres big walls all the way around there and it will probably be closed off around there too.

I think someone mentioned going by the Bridge Cafe which would probably be a good view.

who goin down an were r u's watchin it from an wat time?

There will be at least me, Mark and Jonno39, don't know where we're going yet, but I'm sure Mark has a master plan, probably be there around 7.

ill come down matey just gonna have 2 no were to meet yas

You know the kwick save in the north end? by St James' Church?

yep

wat time u all meetin there joe

about 10 to 7 mate

ok matey a will c u there

10 to 7 lol

I'm thinking Bridge Street Cafe and Somewhere else
mwhaaaaaaa......

On joes shoulders

This evening I took a drive down to the potential viewing areas

The first Pic shows the view from the bridge. I then looked for somewhere on the opposite side of the dock. POTENTIALLY there is a good view if the gate is open Sunday morning. The area looks deserted so I think it will be. Come from Penny Bridge end of the Wallasey dock road until you see blue railings and an open gate on your right and opposite a "training centre" building on your left that is up for sale. Park up and go through the blue gates and alongside the (shuttered) building onto the dockside. At that point you can only just see the cranes from the edge of the dock. The second pic was taken from that point (with about 300mm tele lens).However if you walk along the back of that building towards Duke St bridge then you get a much better view.

This latter viewpoint is possibly better for anyone getting up late and who cannopt get access to the Duke St area (which I guess will be pretty crowded anyway despite the early hour).

Snod

haha i just been in the same place but i drove my car in and all the way down lol.

gutted, I start work at 7am tommorrow. would have loved to have seen this.

any maps, as I'm confused with the description lol

Bloody hell hardly 7am and the road is closed?

Technical Demolition Services must be making a fortune.

Now hey i was shocked ok lol

I'm uploading the video now to Mr You Tube.

This is the Lovely Lady from Glasgow who was Really from Sussex and was filming for the Discovery Channel US.

To be screened on a special Steel Demolition Program,

[youtube]BY-y7Yks50I[/youtube]


Good to see

Snodvan, Wheels, Jonno39 and Wheels there

The shock wave was un expected its fair to say.
Great to watch at 8am

@ Mark's failure

Good stuff Mark.That camera wobble is classic but goes to show the power of the blast.

Now hey lol

Love this picture

They did well for not having any mishaps, 10/10 for demolition skills!

Yeh it seemed to be a text book finish.

Would be interesting if anyone is about or passing over the
next few weeks to get a snap or two as they become nothing
no more. Cut up and taken away.

I agree with that. good job technical demo chaps

Great pics mate, was there myself by the cafe with the demo guys and dock workers.
Was in the docks before 7, having a mooch about with the film crew and demo`s. That ship on the quay was meant to be out, so had to evacuate the crew and lock them in `F` shed, top of the docks!!
Well worth getting out of bed for in the rain on a Sunday morning!!

Just been told by the Demo guys that they are expecting most of it to be cleared by tomorrow morning. They were just starting the machines up as i was leaving, about an hour ago!
Best hurry up and get thoes closeups!!

that was grate lol a pooed meself when it went boom. meet toto by the cafe an then we got right up close 2 them after they were down

moor picks

some good closeups there

a think toto will have better picks an a video aswell

I was standing by the Our Ladys church on price street with a three other people i went down at about 8 i went into work at 8:05 so it was fantastic that explosion woke everybody up it was great to here the gossip in the shop people wondering what it was.. The explosion was that intense where i was standing it went right threw me.. I should of come with you guys this morning fantastic pictures peeps and mark for quoting fred dibnah hehe Fantastic by any count the bang was fantastic LOL.. End of an era for Alf and Fred lol

Got to say though the demolition guys did it 100% no fook ups and it fell as they should great stuff

This is how far they had got 11:00am

^^^dont know how to put them on screen

mark why did u hurl??

I went down b4 to get these not sure wot they are there brass tho and look decent!

I've got this replica model of the cranes, but it got damaged when moving does ne1 know who or where i can get this fixed an how much??

some nice pics there Andy, cheers

I'll resize your pictures in a sec.

Where did you get the replica model from? Looks cool.

Whats it made from?

There's a model shop on oxton road in Birkenhead which may be able to help you repair it

Andy13 you dont happen to live in Myroad do you? your picture looks the same as my house lol

my m8s neighbour give it to him so i gave him £50 for it bout 4yrs ago dont no where it origianly came from?? it was in a box and wen we moved sum1 stacked stuff on top of it and got broke i've lost most of the bits so i need sum1 prof to restore it i'll try were u sed but dont fink he models himself or not its made from polyplastic of some kind notice the gears and seat in cab I'll post a pic
live in king street btw

as u can see lots of bits missing and im gona go docks 2morrow get a sample of cranes paint and match it in b&q and repaint myne sand down ect

ah right its just your first picture of the model crane looks just like inside my dining room and kitchen. even down to the oven lol. i have just sorted out my good video and will upload it to youtube in the next 20mins. well worth a watch

Looks similar to the scale model of woodside in the Wirral Museum.

Should be a good model restoration project - let us know how you get on with it

As I mentioned, you might want to go to Kit Stop on Oxton Road - they may be able to put you in touch with someone who could do a decent job of repairing it or if not, they should be able to supply you with materials and paint at least.

yeh I'll let ya no how it goes neway
needs 2 whole new wheels bogies ect
most of the platform/handrails cab upwards
bearing joint connectors so prob lookin £100 dya rekon?

I've got loads of pics of us rite at the top of the cranes wen we used 2 climb them an i'm guttered cos i cant find them newere

I have no idea of the cost, sorry

is it a working model? does the cab turn and the arms move?

you best off taken it to the model shop on oxton raod they will tell you mate they good in there

everything moves and works (well did) them pics i put on 1 is rite out like i left the 1 in the docks and the other tucked in close and it turns round aswel well worth £50 like

even better that its a working model then.

Deffo worth £50.

£100 to me seems a fair price for someone to do a decent job of repairing it to get it fully working.

better get savin hadnt i lol

well my video is done hope you enjoy it

[youtube]ZJerEX1hZ3M[/youtube]

great vid mate wish i had got up on time to see it for my self now

well done wheels ,some pretty amazing footage there mate

brilliant vid that!!

good demolition crew aswel

cheers guys i wish i had more cameras to get better angles for the video. i was gonna leave one hidden close up but never got the chance to plant one what with all the police and danger

wow wheels thats fab mate!!! REALLY wish i had gone to see this!

Nice one, good footage. i'm impressed

Love the slow mow on that video

Quality slow motion video there wheels
You and joe got the gun power flash perfectly

Great Vid there Fella.....

Nice pics and vids there people, shudda got my lazy ass down there this morning.

Great video wheels and that model just kicks arse.. When i was a kid i was naughty and used to climb the cranes got caught once and told off but then i started asking loads of questions and they realised i was intrested and told me i could of been hurt cause they where dangerous.. I remember trying to get into the Cab area but the doors where allways locked but what i do remember is finding the buttons on the side where they blew the legs off to move them up and down the quayside and low and be hold got tarted off the dock side cause i didnt know what i was doing well i saw a button and pressed it and what happened a beep then it moved LOL i shit but thats my memory of them.. Anyways got a question to ask what was the name of the crane make as i want to see if theres any others like them and hunt around the net to see if i can compare em and see if there still standing if not they might of been the last..

cool vid wheels

Been watching all 4 videos and theres a strange groaning sound on them all as soon as the cranes hit the ground like there moaning hahaha.. ?

The maker is Babcock & Wilcox Cranes

I've been searching the internet for last 3 yrs for others alike an never found nefink i fink they were 1 odf a kind

sayin ya move them wen we used 2 go bout 4 yrs ago i could always get in the cab we used 2 get eachother on the ropes and swing it over the docks of a night when ya used to move the main arm in and out it was ded noisy and used 2 shake loads quite scary wen i fink bout it now we at least i can say i was the last person 2 move them both and they have stayed in the same position ever since lol

if ya ever do find any others the same tell me cos i'll be straight down there

heres some similar ones

there just no were near as good as ours

The girl filming on behalf of Dicovery said that they had sacrificial cameras around the site, radio link jobs. We must look for when the film comes on UK channels.

Snod

Some great vids and pics there guys

Cant belive how crap the weather was up here on Sunday morning though

Ohh babcox and wilcox the USA based enginering company which made boilers. Hmmm intresting.. by the look at the engineering your most probally right they where the only ones in existence.. Shame..

Things you find on tha net small picture but you get the picture..

a picture i found scouring the net..

been a while since we seen those trains on wirral too (or am i just old)

They were 150ft tall, each weighed 320 tonnes and were erected in 1964. They were mainly used for discharging dry bulk cargoes from ships.

Port operator the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company – part of Peel Ports Group – said removing the quayside cranes will allow for better use of the area.

RIP the Class 502 stock - did the L'pool to Southport & Ormskirk lines. Similar design to the Wirral 503 sets. Best units ever!

Deep, springy comfortable seats, varnished wood trim, leather straps to hang onto at rush hour - pure quality. Built like brick outhouses.

Went like the clappers on open track. 1000's of amps under your left hand. Bliss !!!

just had word with old man and he says that pic will be mid to late seventies, where those sidings are now has those big warehouses on, he also recognised them as southport ones because of some vents or summit

ste's vid is on liveleak

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a8e_1209330430

Here is another old pic notice that everthing in background has gone apart from the cranes

Now the barstard have took them aswel!

^^^^^^^^^THAT PICTURE IS A MUST SEE!!!^^^^^^^^^

wow they look so shiny and new

at least i can say i was one of the last people to go up if not the last person ill try an find them pics of the views of the top an videos an stuff

welcome jlmcabe

Look forward to seeing your pictures mate.

Excellent pictures of how it was.
We will probably make a little now and then in the history forum.

Great Pictures...
This has really turned in to a Grrrrreat topic.

How are they now havnt been down at all today
take it there nearly gone

Probably gone i guess too.

driving down dock road before and i saw a quick glimpse of the cranes' arses still there

They're meant to be taking them apart over the next 6 weeks

Who the fook stole my vid?

Latest pics of Birkenhead cranes

thats sad

they have worked quickly on those, must have several gas axes on the go, noticed the mersey mammoth hanging about too

I noticed the Mersey Mammoth Ithink it's in the east float dock dunno wot its der for tho???

They have taken the legs of crane no1 when i looked today cant see it bein long b4 no2 goes aswel

If any1 finds out wot date there goin on discovery channel let us know plz thks

It's to be shown in the US first, so might be a while before we get to see it

k tar mate
btw do ya know who or wer all the scrap metal off them is goin?

no idea

Hi Guys,

went away over the weekend come back yesterday and then on the way to work this morning noticed there are no cranes?

Where did they go? anyone got a vid?

Where have you been for the past 2 weeks? lol

Theres plenty of pictures and videos in this topic

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 was expecting to see it on the local news and it wasn't event mentioned

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?

I dunno where they went mate, Scott_f might know though, she is a retard imho

And I doubt anyone would get her on cam, unless they really wanted to break their lens.

This is wot happened to them 8 pages ere mate!!

I went to the cammel laird crane demolition that woz on sunday aswel but a bit later at 11:00 set all the car alarms off in rock ferry lol I've got a vid sumwer i'll try an find it!

"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..."

It wasn't planning that was refused recently, the eco-town next to Peel's Wirral Waters didn't get added to the governments shortlist for special eco-town grants. Stuff is happening with Wirral Waters, the Hydraulic Tower should hopefully get permisison soon (tomorrow I think) and lots of work is going on now to clear sites around the docks which will be put to use on short-term leases to bring some cash in whilst planning is sought (you can see this at the old Bidston Dock, the site between Four bridges and the grain warehouse and on the corner by Duke Street).

Hardly any think left now go an get the last pics before it's too late!!

them thar lairds cranes were on a telly program werent they?

Eventually you will see them on a Discovery Channel
all about demolition of steel structures.

Found a pic of CAMMEL LAIRD CRANES Demolition

Well the Birkenhead dock cranes are finally gone was down there bout half an hour ago watching them destroy the final remaining piece IMAGES BELOW
R.I.P!

Heres sum brilliant pics here shame there b/w

Wow How Time moves on...
Every Good Dog has its day.

awwh wow

Not bad r they dunno wot date they wer took must be 70s i guess???

well, I was workin right by these crane's today so I thought I'd take a few pic's, prob from an angle no one's ever taken them at before ! (can you guess were I am from one of the pic's ?

Is it the road behind that disabled bus depot place?

corporation road

Patten Street

the yellow crane by mobil oil is one of 2 i seen them blow the outher one up when i was a kid

Andy was working down Corpy Road?? Is Chris you're PIMP?

pmsl, chris be pimpim me out lol, yep, patten street is the one, number 22 ! well done sound lad and joe !

the yellow crane by mobil is at bidston dry dock and dont work any more, they got a new one but it will never work cos they gonna build a new road right through the dock site and lairds cant use it as a dry dock cos of an agreement

The scrap metal is either in Nortons or EMR in Liverpool, whoever is giving the best prices on steel at the time!
The cranes have almost gone now, was working on Technical Demolitions machines the other day, only got the bulky scrap to cut down to managable sizes now!

does ne1 remember the six cranes on the other side of duke street (by clan line)

they dissapeared in the late 90s i woz only a kid so dont remember them much was watchin a vid wen i recognised them

Here is a link for the video most of you have been waiting for!

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/detonators/video/multiangle/multiangle.html

The description says Liverpool, it annoys me when Wirral is described as Liverpool.

It's worse when your away from the Wirral and your addressed as 'Scouse'! Lol

Thanks for sharing the video Andy, that was cool.

I used to get that living in Leicester - I think I ended up losing the accent over time to accommodate those who couldn't understand me

When I first started uni down there I lived in halls with a girl from Derry, NI. She was impossible to understand - we spent the first 2 weeks speaking pidgin English to make sense of each other. And working with people from India or Pakistan with very thick accents - blimey, the things you can mishear! Not to mention Malaysian students - even madder to understand!! Especially funny as they have a way of saying 'la' at the end of sentences.

I know one of the crains was washed up.is the other one still in use???

U on about the ones that looked like chairs???
think they were blue?
Theres photos of em in the poulton vics

av 2 go the vics for a pint later

thay were known as the giraffes mate!

Mr rude is interested in this- are they the blue ones that are nearer clock tower? Or do we have to moosey on down to the giggling sausage to see the yellow ones? Cant be doing with the headache if i get it wrong....thanks
