Bolton-upon-Dearne AA battery site - Added to Castles and Fortifications in Barnsley, Yorkshire and the Humber

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

The site a 4-gun anti-aircraft battery from WW2 has survived in a field at Bolton-upon-Dearne, South Yorkshire. Most of the site is intact, and easily accessible, as it is next to Dearne Valley Wetlands SSSI.
Parking in a layby at the end of Lowfield Road.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 03/08/2026. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
