Good news. Quite an operation to remove it.

I always said that a crane was a winch on a stick.

Winching is for Horizontal moves such as by a recovery crew.
Craning is for lifting as in this case.

You don't really expect a journalist to be able to understand the difference do you Bryan?;)

Whichever way you like to look at it, I guess the important thing is that this fine example will be refurbished! Very nice to keep our heritage in fine fettle!
Good stuff
All the best
