A set of images showing the demolition of JD's Nightclub and it's replacement, "The Point", a block of luxury apartments. I took many pictures documenting the whole process from start to completion. The work started in January 2004 and was completed in November 2005. Here are just a few photo's of the main stages.

 |
| A head for heights is required. |
 |
| A very dangerous job. |
 |
| The iconic shape is now appearing and we can see the observation tower. |
 |
| The gap is filled in between the new construction and "The Nottingham House" next door. |
 |
| The floor rafting doing in. |

The observation tower seen from the roof of The Point, overlooking the Humber Estuary and giving views of the
Yorkshire coastline on the far side. |
 |
Back inside the tower, all work complete now.
This photograph was taken during the final week of the
building project. |

The completed building, most of the apartments now occupied, taken 5th November 2005.
A variety of cameras were used for this project, the earlier shots were taken on a Nikon 4300 digital compact camera. For the later ones I used a Canon EOS 300D. |
