Nine pictures of chimney demolitions in Sunderland on the days the skyline changed forever

Gone forever at Vaux, Trimdon Street and the power station

They were all reduced to rubble in Sunderland.

Every one of these chimneys once dominated the Wearside skyline. But no more and here are the Echo archive photos of the day they were razed to the ground.

We've got Vaux in 2007, the power station cooling tower in 1979 and Usworth brickworks in 1972.

Did you watch the demolition at Gilley Law in 1993? We've got that as well.

Have a look.
