Written by Shaun Moore on February 23, 2010
Work starts this week to demolish a former shopping centre at Gloucester docks to make way for new flats and commercial units.
The 1980s Merchants Quay centre, which has been empty for 18 months, will be revamped by developer Crest Nicholson.
The new warehouse-style building will house 48 flats with leisure and retail units at ground level.
The scheme is part of a multi-million pound regeneration programme of the docks area.
