Demolition work begins on former Littlehampton HQ

Demolition works have begun at the former headquarters of The Body Shop.

The ethical beauty brand moved out of its base in Littlehampton last year after decades in the West Sussex town.

Works began on Tuesday to demolish the striking building with its green roof in Watersmead Drive, next to the junction known locally as the “Body Shop roundabout”.

The Body Shop announced in October last year that it was relocating its head offices to Brighton, where founder Dame Anita Roddick opened the brand’s first store in 1976.
