This pile of rubble is all that remains of Bingley’s Myrtle Walk shopping centre, just a month after demolition work started to make way for the new £5 million 5Rise development.
Former Lord Mayor of Bradford, Bingley councillor Robin Owens, took control of heavy-duty machinery to knock down part of the former Co-op building last month.
Since then the library has been flattened as contractors F Hardwick Ltd make way for Leeds-based developers 4Urban to develop the new shopping centre, which is due to open in time for Christmas 2009.
Confirmed companies for the centre include Betfred, Boots, Clinton Cards, Greggs, NatWest bank, Subway, Superdrug and Timpson.
