Watch: Bulldozers move in on site of Sedgley's former Gould's building
Bulldozers have been seen carrying out work at the former Gould's site that shut down in 2018.


The land at Bilston Street, Sedgley, is being cleared to make way for a new Aldi store, which represents a £5 million investment by the supermarket chain.
DSP Midlands has been contracted to carry out the demolishing work on the site, with the development of a 1,254sq metres glass-fronted building set to take its place.
The video shows a number of bulldozing vehicles hard at work demolishing the building while workmen wearing high-vis jackets can be seen clearing the site.
Work on the new Aldi store is earmarked to begin in the spring, with a potential opening date set for the autumn.
Up to 40 jobs are expected to be created when the store opens, with the works set to expand onto the council housing officers' sites and also take part of the car park of the Red Lion pub off Bullring.


Gould's shut in May 2018 after serving the Black Country for more than 50 years.
The business formally sold televisions, cookers, fridges, microwaves and a wide range of other domestic appliances went into liquidation.
