Dorton Demolition's Duke Harvey becomes the "Ringmaster" of Circus Street, Brighton

Dorton Group is currently hard at work on Circus Street in Brighton where they have been tasked with demolishing an old municipal market building.

Work started in late September, but is expected to continue until the end of the year. Once the site is cleared, construction work will begin in early 2016 reusing all of the wood and steel from the demolition phase, as well as using materials from it for concrete.

The regeneration will include 142 new homes, accommodation for 450 students through new dorms, exhibition space, and a new library and academic building for the University of Brighton. It's also expected to create 400 jobs.

C&D customer Armac get to work in Coventry

Armac has started work on demolishing The Rocket Pub near Coventry railway station. The work is part of the ongoing Friargate regeneration project for the area, and the removal of the pub, which has been boarded up for four years, will likely be welcomed by locals. Eventually the area will become a new business district with 25 new buildings being constructed.

Once removed, the land will be used for storage while a tunnel is constructed beneath Warwick Road to allow better pedestrian access from the station to Central Six retail park.

A gallery of images showing the demolition in progress as well as some historical images from the pub's past can be viewed at the Coventry Telegraph website.

Robert Maxwell's Maxwell House demolished

Robert Maxwell isn't having a great time of it in the UK at the moment, mainly due to the actions of his newspapers here. But late last week a part of his company's history got demolished.

Maxwell House in Milton Keynes has been torn down and brought mixed emotions for former workers. Some are happy to see it go, where as others have fond memories of working in the building, if not for Maxwell himself.

Although Maxwell House is now being demolished, the site will be regenerated and become a datacenter containing thousands of computers holding the data we all increasingly use on the web.

You can watch the video of Maxwell House's demolition at the BBC.
