Demolition work is under way at a former ice cream depot in Lancaster.
Permission was granted earlier this month to knock down the derelict former Macari's depot as part of the mooted Canal Quarter development.
Six outbuildings and stone walls on the St Leonardgate car park site are being demolished, temporary hoardings will be put up and asbestos will be removed.
The site is part of an area earmarked for housing, as the city council aims to build on the car parks in future.
Our photo below shows the site on Tuesday, September 24 as work took place.

The six small industrial buildings date back to the mid-to-late 20th century, and were built and used by the iconic Lancaster ice cream making family business A. Macari & Sons for the production of ice cream. They have been empty for many years.
The photo below was taken at the site earlier this year.

The site is part of an area earmarked for housing, as the Canal Quarter plans include building new homes on both Upper and Lower St Leonardgate car parks, which could result in the loss of 181 spaces and six coach parking spaces by 2026.
The plans have proven unpopular with many city centre businesses.
Lancaster City Council planning regulatory committee granted permission for the demolition at a meeting on September 2.
