| A cleared canvas at Regent Circus. |
The above picture is a photograph of, space. Not a building, or a person, but a large area of fresh air. Far off in the distance you can see the houses of Eastcott Hill. Yesterday, the final ground floor sections of wall were crumbled away by the Wring Group's machines and the former Swindon College 'modern' extension was no more.
All that remain are 20,000 tonnes, or thereabouts of material, metal, concrete, wood and glass to be sorted, reduced to transportable size, boxed up and moved for reuse. That should take a few weeks, then building work can start in October.

| The small pile of debris in the centre right and the collection of metal to the far left are the last pieces of the main tower that were pulled down yesterday. |
What also remains on site are the memories of classes, teachers, students, exams, assemblies, gigs, plays, meetings and much, much more.
