New pictures show the demolition of the former The Core nearing completion, with the former shopping centre now reduced to a vast, empty space.
The Leeds city centre shopping centre is being demolished to make way for new student accommodation.
Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Gerard Binks visited the site to capture the latest stage of the demolition.
