THE day started with a bang for two youngsters on Sunday.
Eleese Darsey, 11, and her sister Lucy, eight, pressed the plunger to demolish two 140ft brick chimneys which were part of the former Cohen's Foundry site in Purland Road, Thamesmead.
The site is being cleared for redevelopment by the girls' father David Darsey and his company Erith Contractors, of Slade Green.
