A FACTORY chimney which dominates the Kidderminster skyline is being taken down brick by brick.

Demolition men are knocking down the 180ft Brintons chimney by climbing to the top and knocking the bricks into the hollow of the structure.

They expect to spend nearly three weeks bringing it down to a level low enough for machines to be used.

The chimney is being dismantled as part of the multi-million pound town centre development KTC1.
