Rotherham Markets Demolition Video

The major £36 million refurbishment of Rotherham Markets has taken a major step forward with the demolition of the Guardian Centre buildings now completed and the markets’ iconic tent roof removed.

Appointed by lead contractor Henry Boot Construction, Rotherham-based demolition experts, Demex, were responsible for the dismantling of the iconic tensile fabric tent and its supporting metal structure, which has been a recognisable part of Rotherham’s town centre for almost three decades.

Demex were also in charge of carefully managing the pulling down of the former Drummond Street shops – also known as the Guardian Centre buildings – to the Henry Street corner of the site.
