Demolition of the White Hart pub in Hook began on Wednesday, August 25, moving the Fircroft Trust one step closer to its plan to build a 21st century home for adults with learning disabilities.
The first few days will be spent stripping the pub and then the roof will be removed ahead of major demolition works next week.
The Surbiton charity had to remove asbestos from the pub before demolition began, and secure boards were put up after vandals repeatedly broke in and smashed windows.
The charity has planning permission to build 14-bedroom residential care home. There will also be staff key worker housing as well as parking spaces and a garden.
