As it happens I live in Ashbourne and so took a look at the site from the public highway. At present the only work that I can see is the removal of some large shrubs.
I have no stake in this loan, but I'm more than happy to keep updating this thread as and when.

 Back from walkies. For all you weather buffs out there, it's grey and damp. Anyhow the build, I am pleased to report that the majority of the house has been demolished. Sorry for not being able to show the part of the house still standing: some chap kept talking to me. It looks like it's the original Georgian bit still standing, but its time is nigh.

Greetings all, just back from my lung opener on a gloriously sunny Ashbourne day. There's some limited progress from my last posting. A container from a demolition firm is on site; my guess is that they're salvaging any period stuff worth saving. A couple of snaps can be found via the link: no-one wanted to talk to me today :-( imgur.com/a/rWZJaThe project has been mentioned in the local press http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk<link partially redacted> Housing has become more expensive in Ashbourne www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/property/derbyshire-market-town-see-house-983662 |

No stories today, but I can report that the old building has been completely razed. A large pile of bricks is all that remains with a big yellow excavator resting on top.

Normally, a building would be razed with the excavator, you are saying they've also raised the excavator with the building? Neat  |

Had a quick look at the site today. The pile of bricks has been transformed into a road of bricks. The big yellow excavator has been replaced with a smaller orange excavator. Not much of a progress report but progress nevertheless. ibb.co/hcnnHx |

Clicked on the link and got a plate of curry. Was that your dinner or a creative interpretation of the state of the site development?

Walked past the site today in glorious sunshine. The big pile of bricks has gone and now there is a big, deep hole in the ground.
