The demolition of a historic Dundee jute mill was completed on Saturday, despite a council investigation into the work. A digger and staff were at the site of the former Wallace Cragie jute works – known as Halley’s Mill – to finish bringing it down on May 12. Dundee City Council confirmed on Friday, May 11 that an investigation into the demolition of the building on Broughty Ferry Road was under way. A building standards officer from the local authority was present as the remainder of the derelict building was brought down to its first floor. He said: “Our concern at this stage is that the building is left in a safe condition.” Demolition work has continued at Halley’s Mill. Posted by TheCourier.co.uk on Saturday, 12 May 2018 Dundee Museum of Transport chairman Jimmy McDonnell returned to the site briefly to see if anymore letters from the building’s signage could be saved. He managed to save four of them on Friday, but was told that the rest were torn down and could not be saved. He added that he hoped they could have been on display at Verdant Works if he was able to get more. Craigie Estates Ltd, who were granted planning permission to transform the site into flats in 2014, were approached for comment.
