Demolition of the Swan Hunter Cranes

Just after 11am on Friday 4 June 2010,  the demolition of the last two cranes at the Swan Hunter shipyard in Wallsend went ahead.

It took just 10 seconds for both cranes to fall to the ground.

The last evidence of the yard’s massive influence on Tyneside has now gone.
