Demolition starts green heart beating IV

Twenty days on from my last post, Demolition starts green heart beating III, work to bring the facade of the former main library down is transforming University Square and creating the open space that will become a Green Heart for the campus.

Recently the crests at the top of the facade were removed, https://uobgreenheart.com/2017/09/14/university-crests/, having been in situ since they were chiseled directly into the stone on the building during its construction in 1958.  The crests will reinstated into the Green Heart.
