The video you see above is Bradford Police Headquarters. It's a memorable building due to the fact it was opened by the Queen in 1974. But it has remained unused since 2008 and the land has been earmarked for another project.
This week demolition commenced on the building and it isn't taking long to raise it to the ground:
Its replacement is a City Park covering six-acres. It will be used to host regular events with up to 10,000 visitors. Local residents can look forward to music concerts, sporting events, and a number of new markets visiting the area once completed.
Councillor Adrian Naylor, executive member for regeneration, said:
"The former police station demolition is a significant point not only for the City Park but also the city's regeneration.
The City Park is about more than creating an attractive urban environment, it's about social and economic sustainability, economic investment, tourism and communities."
