Yesterday it was the baby digger, but today the heavy machinery moved in.

The last vestige of the playground, the see-saw, was unceremoniously uprooted. At least two large lorry-loads of concrete blocks, rubble and bricks were taken away via the Banner Street entrance.

The big digger started to remove the brick paving that surrounds the trunk of the plane tree: vibrations shook right up through the building.
