Tolent Construction were awarded the enabling works contract for the multi-million pound redevelopment of the three acre Church High site on Tankerville Terrace.  They arrived on site to start the work on March 9^th 2015.

Initial work included the addition of new drainage, tree preservation and preparation for the demolition of the former Junior School buildings to make way for the new, stand-alone three-storey building to be constructed within the Junior School grounds.

The actual demolition of the Junior School finally got underway on Monday 20^th April 2015 beginning with the left-hand wing of the Junior building which housed the small Hall.  This was completed on Tuesday 21^st April; rather amazingly, this stage of the demolition process was actually captured by the Google Maps cameras which were obviously in the process of updating their images of the area.

By Wednesday 22nd when I went to take my own photographs of the work in progress, the demolition of the right-hand wing of the building, which housed the main Junior Hall, was already underway.

Mark from Tolent kindly allowed me access to the site so that I could record the process up-close and it was very moving to see artwork depicting the Church High School Badge still in place on the wall.

The final stage of the demolition, the main classroom areas and the newest Science Wing had been completed by the end of the week.
