Work appears to be progressing at the site of a once major Wiltshire employer now earmarked for over 300 homes.
Last July plans for 329 new dwellings at the former Westinghouse Brakes site in Chippenham were approved as part of the wider redevelopment of the Langley Park area.
The derelict industrial buildings, which once made up a significant employment site in the town, will be flattened to make way for the latest phase of the scheme.
Last October demolition warning signs were put in place at the entrance to the property and work soon began to transform the area.

Since then, multiple buildings have been torn down which were once recognisable parts of the factory, and piles of debris and construction vehicles now take up much of the site.
Demolition notices remain in place at both Hawthorn Road and Foundry Lane as work appears to continue.
The regeneration of Langley Park has already seen the completion of Aldi and Travelodge, and the beginning of the first phase of residential development undertaken by Crest Nicholson.
This part of the redevelopment was led by Vistry Partnerships during a four-year planning process and promises to create a new mixed-use neighbourhood at the southern part of the site.
