Our town was fortunate to have a major factory employing hundreds (if not thousands) of workers for almost a century. I've known quite a few of these workers, including my father-in-law and neighbour, who were longtime employees.

Downturns and buyouts over the years finally took their toll, and this spring saw the demolition of this monumental building. Above is just corner of the building, which met the jaws of the demolition equipment first.

This is my entry for challenge 88
