WORK to demolish former office buildings at the UK Hydrographic Office is continuing apace.

The buildings, at the 32-acre site in Admiralty Way, Taunton, are being knocked down.

Around 850 staff at the facility were relocated to new, state-of-the-art buildings in January 2019.

This plot, at the front of the site near Asda, will be sold off for redevelopment.
