Welcome to nostalgia corner…

Some recently rediscovered magazines shine a light on a demolition world gone by.

Earlier this week, we uploaded the second ever edition of Euro Demolition News, the hip and happening electronic magazine of the European Demolition Association that features all the state-of-the-art developments in this iPhone-toting, email obsessed demolition world we now inhabit.

But some of our more eagle-eyed readers spotted that the magazine was linked to an online repository of some less cutting edge publications; namely some copies of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors’ Demolition & Dismantling magazine dating back to the 1970s and 1980s.

So, prompted by some reader feedback, we have decided to bring a few of these lost gems to you; and the first comes from a year in which the UK was split between Silver Jubilee celebrations and the advent of punk music. So here is the Demolition & Dismantling magazine from the month and year I started high school; September 1977 (and if I had known then what I know now, believe me, I would have studied WAY harder!!)
