It gives a different and sped-up angle on the demolition work which has entered its final stage.
The video has been created from Shropshire Council’s webcam on the roof of The Darwin Centre and can be seen at the project website.
This final stage of demolition is expected to last until the end of the year.
The first phase Smithfield Riverside regeneration is fully funded by the UK Government, creating a new park running along Roushill in the new year.
Thick concrete slabs of the foundations of the shopping centre, nightclub and doctor’s surgery requires large hydraulic breakers, which will smash the concrete into chunks that can then be ground into reusable aggregate, and create an area ready for the creation of the new park.
The Council and Cawarden also encourage anyone with questions or concerns about the demolition to contact the site manager, Mick Whitehead, at m.whithead@cawarden.com.
