Derelict grain silos that are considered “a blot on King’s Lynn’s landscape” are being knocked down.
Work to demolish the silos and associated buildings on South Quay in the Norfolk town began on Monday.
West Norfolk Council said the buildings had deteriorated and become a haven for rough sleeping and “undesirable activity”.
A Section 215 notice was issued last year, requiring the site to be tidied up with various areas demolished.
Jason Law, the council’s cabinet member for regeneration, said: “The site has become a real eyesore and the buildings have become unsafe, resulting in Devils Alley being fenced off.
“This will tidy up the site and make the whole area along the waterfront more attractive for visitors and more pleasant for local residents.”
