The demolition of a city centre landmark is on course to finish by the end of the year.
With work to bring down Victoria House in full swing the owners of the site, Zive Capital, have confirmed everything is on track to finish within the next few months.
However it's still unknown what will be replacing the former Marsh building, in Queens Road, once it's flattened.
A spokesman for Zive Capital said: "Demolition of Victoria House is progressing well with the eastern wing of the building completed and the southern wing approaching completion.
"The western wing is partially demolished with work remaining on schedule for completion in the last three months of 2024.
"These works are the first stage of the site's sustainable redevelopment.

"We're committed to keeping the local community informed throughout the demolition process via newsletters and a community WhatsApp group.
"We'll also engage in thorough consultation with the community to inform proposals for the site's redevelopment ahead of the submission of a planning application."

The site has been empty since the start of 2022 when Marsh announced it was moving staff to its new offices at Broadland Business Park.
Demolition work was initially scheduled to begin by the end of September last year but it was revealed in October that no date had been set.
In June the company came under fire from City Hall bosses after their question about when the site would be demolished went unanswered.
However in July the London-based company confirmed work was under way, with windows around the site being removed and metal scaffolding, with plastic sheeting, clad around the north-west wing.
Demolition work then started in early August.
