A VIDEOGRAPHER has captured a time-lapse of the demolition of a retail park in Basingstoke.
Brighton Hill Retail Park, which included popular toy store Toys R Us in addition to electrical retailer PC World and sports retailer JJB Sports, is currently being demolished.
Mark Edwards, who captures videos and photographs of properties across the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands, has filmed the demolition works at the retail park.

The retail park was a feature of the town for more than 30 years, however, it is now being demolished after work began in late September.
The video shows buildings, including Toys R Us, reduced to rubble with mounds of debris littering the ground. Crains work to remove the building's concrete and light iron sheeting.
The demolition work on the derelict site will make way for the construction of two new warehouse buildings.
The buildings will be used for 'general industrial' and 'storage and distribution' after developers were given the green light earlier this year.
