WORK has started on demolishing the former Lidl store in Wood Street, Taunton.
The bulldozers have moved in and started tearing down the building beside the River Tone.
Once the premises have been pulled down, construction will start on a block of retirement apartments.
The store was vacated by Lidl when the firm moved to new premises in Castle Street, opposite the Tesco store.
Lidl has another store in Taunton on Roman Road.
