Cape Town skyline changed forever

On 22 August 2010, Cape Town saw the demolition of the well known Athlone Cooling Towers, also known as the "Salt and Pepper Pot" which formed part of the Cape Town skyline for almost 50 years.

The event caused great excitement and drew record crowds on a dreary winters day.
