Different take on the Sheffield Bando 1st thing this morning. Shot with Mavic Platinum and been meaning to shoot this for a long time now. Perfect conditions too as the weekend is forecast to be a bit crappy. Ended up with almost 10mins of footage, chopped down to just over 4. Beautiful area from above and maybe another different area to explore, behind the red wagon trailers not long into the vid. A bit of history about the site =During the 1800s the Loxley Valley became an important producer of refractory bricks for the expanding Sheffield steel industry. The bricks were used to line the furnaces and were made from ganister, a sort of sandstone which was prevalent in the Loxley area. Many ganister mines existed in the area supplying the local firms of Thomas Wragg, Siddons Bros., Hepworths and Thomas Marshall which sprang up in the district and produced the bricks. Refractory production ceased in the area in the 1990s.
