No date has been set yet but I bet there will be little standing room left on Westbury White Horse on the day it comes down!

The landmark chimney, which dominates the Westbury skyline, will, subject to the correct weather conditions, be brought down by controlled explosion on Sunday 18th September at about 06.45am, the exact time will be announced nearer the date.
