The building, which was constructed in 1933, will be demolished to make way for a new station at the Kingston Beach headquarters.

Work began this week to strip out the building and the demolition is expected to begin next week.

The RNLI launched a public appeal to raise 1million towards the total cost of a new station and Tamar class boat in late 2007 and so far nearly 300,000 has been raised.
