TR Demolition has removed more than 500 tonnes of twisted steel and blackened wood, which was all that remained of the pavilion.
This bird’s eye view was taken from a helicopter this week while the underside of the pier is being sandblasted clean and experts test the supporting metal supports.
The clearance will make way for a new state-of-the-art attraction to be built on the landmark structure next year.
Pier owners Kerry and Michelle Michael are currently scouring the globe looking for new rides and hope to submit new plans to North Somerset Council before Christmas.
It will be based on the selected design by Bristol based architect Angus Meek, chosen out of a shortlist of six to make re-build the Pavilion.
