Demolition of Regent Circus College, Swindon, Wiltshire



During the summer of 2012 we, along with the rest of Swindon, couldn't take enough photographs of the former Regent Circus college being demolished.  It was surreal seeing the giant machinery eating away at the concrete walls as though it were made of paper.  Mesmorised by this, and working in an office near to it, Mandy returned a number of times to take yet more photographs.  But what to do with them all?  Each being slightly different from the others and not able to choose which to omit, we have put most of them here.

These photographs are from 2012 but we have continued to take photographs right up to when the new development was built and open for business.  Photographs of the construction can be seen at:  Construction.  Photographs of it finished are not yet on this site.

This page has an overview of the demolition, whilst further pages can be seen with many more photographs using the following links:
