Anglia Square demolition progress revealed in photographs

Anglia Square is being razed to the ground to make way for 1,100 homes on the site, off Magdalen Street in Norwich.

New images taken around the barricaded site show much of the western side of the shopping centre has been bulldozed.

The square's glass canopy and clock have been removed and mounds of rubble and waste can be seen at various points around the complex.

However, there is a long way to go before the demolition is completed and work can begin on building the new homes, with landmark buildings like the Hollywood Cinema and Sovereign House still standing.

Carli Harper, cabinet member for major projects, said the council is working to ensure the project meets the timelines it has set.

She said: "We're really pleased with the progress. It is a complex project and we're working to tighten timelines, but it's great to see visible progress and we look forward to pushing ahead with building much-needed housing for our city later in the year."
