This was the moment Fawley Power Station, which has dominated the western shore of Southampton water for more than five decades, was demolished on Sunday (October 31).

Video shows the 164m (680ft) chimney being toppled in a controlled explosion.

"Today was the end of an era when the once iconic skyline feature of the Fawley Power Station chimney was brought crashing down with a controlled explosion," Newsflare's filmer Matt said.

"The structure fell in seconds and the explosion heard for miles around.

"An incredible sight and a sad moment for many. Growing up near Southampton, it’s a sight I got used to while crabbing with my dad."
