Demolition work has begun on the former home of UTV 'Havelock House'. The 150-year-old building was first created as a linen factory in the late 1800s, before housing soldiers during WW2 and even a secret radar operation.
Resident groups and historians have campaigned to maintain the site, or at least to save the Victorian part of the building.
However, work is now underway by developers to demolish Havelock to make way for over 100 new social homes in south Belfast.
Eden Wilson spoke with TV historian Dr Ken Griffin about the building's remarkable history.
