Tells a story ! Makes you think of all the folk involved. Foundry workers casting the machinery, construction gangs putting it together, miners doing the job. How local families got through when the industry closed. Now nature re-claiming the land etc. Perfect sound track. :+1:

Nice one. I love that kind of subject matter (is it still called urban decay even though it’s industrial?). It evokes such strong feelings of nostalgia.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video, I was also there flying, nice location on 14 /2/19.

Brilliant.
