Demolition in Middleport [VIDEO]

Just a short video of one of the many demolition sites across Stoke-on-Trent with the work of Renew North Staffordshire at the moment. Excepting the fact that some of the shots aren't as clean as I'd like, I was quite pleased at the way this came out. I particularly liked two shots. Firstly, there is the opening shot of what appears to be discarded prostitute boots just off where the houses are being pulled down.

And then there's the bit where the camera picks up on the woman who watches on while her house is being pulled down. She wouldn't speak on camera, but she's upset because her husband died in the house. I love the way that the demolition crew still offer to take away the mementoes that she wants from the house. What do you think?
