Search the Public Notice PortalDemolition works at a historic Wiltshire brewery are progressing ahead of plans to build over 100 homes.
Work at the old Wadworth brewery on Northgate Street in Devizes was due to get underway in mid-August, and by September the site was fenced off.
Multiple non-listed buildings on the site are currently being flattened to make way for 102 homes following the brewery’s relocation to Folly Road in 2023.
Pictures have shown the progress of these early works, with some former industrial buildings now reduced to rubble.
Demolition and decontamination is expected to take between three and four months and will involve the removal of warehouses, stables, and other industrial buildings.

These works will not impact the Grade II buildings which front the site, which could be converted into flats under plans currently being considered by Wiltshire Council.
The homes will be built by developer Backhouse after its plans were approved in February, and the first homes are expected to be ready by summer 2027.
Ahead of the works, Backhouse CEO Ian Jones said: “We are thrilled to be giving this important site a new lease of life, creating beautifully designed homes for contemporary lifestyles.
“The site’s extensive landscaping and public open spaces will benefit the entire community while respecting the historic Grade II listed Wadworth Brewery building at its heart.”
