Derelict Bishop Auckland building to be demolished
61 North Bondgate is believed to have been built in the late 19th or early 20th century.
However, it has been significantly altered over the years and has stood empty since 2017.
Due to structural concerns, the owner, The Auckland Project, submitted a proposal to tear it down.
Plans were given the green light by Durham County Council on March 10.
Demolition is to take place on weekdays between 8am and 6pm, and Saturdays between 8am and 2pm.
No public objections were made to the plans.
