The Steetley chimney, the Blackhall stack and the former College of Further Education buildings all dominated the skyline in years gone by.

Here is a reminder of their final days and those of plenty more besides.

Take a look and see how many of these demolition scenes you remember.

In the same year, work started to demolish the old Hartlepool College of Further Education building. Were you one of the college's students at the time?
