Packington demolition

As the last large housing estate to be completed in London was demolished section by section, key moments in the process were captured.
 
The images were taken as I passed on my way to and from work using a compact digital camera. As access to the site was not allowed for safety reasons, many images were shot over through, and occasionally under the hoardings.
