I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
In the heart of Darlington town centre stands the iconic Darlington Clock Tower, one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks. Built in 1864, the tower was gifted to the town by Joseph Pease, a prominent local industrialist and railway pioneer, and was designed by renowned Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse.
The Clock Tower forms part of Darlington’s historic Market Place and is a Grade II listed building, reflecting its architectural and historical importance. Its distinctive Victorian design, tall spire and prominent position have made it a familiar sight above the town for more than 160 years.
The tower also has a connection to the famous Big Ben, with its bells being made by the same company responsible for casting bells for the Palace of Westminster.
Today, the Clock Tower remains at the centre of Darlington’s town life, standing as a reminder of the town’s rich Victorian, industrial and railway heritage. These aerial photographs capture this historic landmark from a unique perspective above the streets of Darlington.
I took these pictures at the start of the Amazon drones but if you want to fly when Amazon is using the airspace. What I highly recommend on doing is calling Teesside Airport before and after your flight to let them be aware of you flying in the flight restricted airspace.
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 25/08/2026. 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.
