Demolition of the retail landmark begins this month as the council plans to reinvent the city
Metal rods protrude from half-demolished floors like roots, there’s no roof on what was once BHS and panels of 1970s honeycomb ceiling are stacked like giant Lego pieces.
Nottingham’s Broadmarsh shopping centre is a monument to a retail heyday now past. Final demolition will begin this month after works to reinvent the building, which opened in 1975, were abandoned when its owner, the retail property group Intu, went bust last year and the lease was taken on by the local council.
