The former GKN factory at Trent Valley has been brought down in recent weeks.

Work will continue to remove rubble from the site which has been empty for a number of years.

The land has previously been earmarked as a potential location for a new Marks and Spencer Food Hall together with another unnamed food retailer.

However, the site has had a chequered past having been the scene of a major fire in 2017 after arsonists struck.
