External Demolition – Part 1

Posted on by

The first two areas being demolished are the metal workshop in back of house and the area around the Circle Studio and fire exits just off the foyer on the way to the toilets. These bits of the building are pretty much freestanding and not tied into the historic stage-house and auditorium.

Both these areas have already been stripped out internally and any building connections separated to enable them to be pulled apart using a huge mechanical claw.
