A former restaurant and banqueting suite in Hornchurch is no more, as new pictures have revealed progress at the site. 

The Cranleigh, on the corner of Station Lane and Stanley Road, closed down on January 1 after almost 40 years of business after former owner Christine McKenzie announced her retirement.

Jamie Brewis, managing director of Haverbridge Homes Ltd, collected the keys to The Cranleigh on May 9.

The property has now been completely pulled down, with the land boundary surrounded by tall black site hoarding. 

A large team of contractors was seen working on the ground, with several works vehicles and small diggers present. 

It appears the current stage of the development is focused on the foundations of the site.
