THE EVER CHANGING FORTUNES OF DERBY COUNTY FOOTBALL CLUB

Derby County Football Club is a professional association football club in Derby, England. They compete in the EFL Championship, the second level of the English football league system (At the time this video which was published during the 2024/25 season).
One of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888, Derby County is one of only nine clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league system (126 seasons up to the end of the 2024–25 season), with all but six of those being in the top two divisions.
The club was founded in 1884 by William Morley as an offshoot of Derbyshire Coun-ty Cricket Club. Its competitive peak came in the 1970s when it twice won the First Division and competed in major European competitions on four occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years – finishing league runner-up twice in the 1930s – and winning the first post-war FA Cup in 1946.
The club's home colours have been black and white since the 1890s. The team's nick-name, The Rams, honours its links with the First Regiment of Derby Militia, its mas-cot being a ram, and its regimental song. They have a long-standing rivalry with Not-tingham Forest, with whom they contest the East Midlands derby.
The best era for the club was in the 1970s when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor took over and led Derby to its greatest glory. Starting at 18th in the Second Division in 1968, Clough and Taylor acquired Alan Hinton, Roy McFarland, and John O'Hare, then clinched the influential signing of Dave Mackay to lead the club to 1st place in 1969, and promotion to the First Division. Derby went on to finish fourth in 1970. Due to financial issues the club were banned from competing in Europe but went on to win their first ever Football League Championship in 1972. Though Derby did not retain their title the following season, they did reach the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they lost to Juventus. Clough's frequent outspoken comments against football's establishment eventually led to him falling out with the board of directors at the club, and Clough and Taylor left in October 1973. Such was their impact on the club that, 37 years later, a 9 ft (2.75 metres) bronze statue of the pair was erected out-side Pride Park in commemoration of their legacy.
After finishing in 12th place in their first season back in the top flight league, the club left the Baseball Ground, its home of 102 years, to move into the new 33,597-seat Pride Park Stadium for the 1997–98 season. The Baseball Ground was demolished six years later and a memorial was eventually erected in memory of its role in Derby city history.
A sudden decline at the turn of the millennium saw three years of struggle for the club and in April 2006, a consortium of local businessmen led by former vice-chairman Peter Gadsby purchased the club, reducing its debt and returning Pride Park Stadium to the club's ownership in the process.
Over the next decade, or so, the club had mixed fortunes, various owners, and a change in it’s stadium name, only for it to return to it’s original name of ‘Pride Park Stadium’ some years later, and is currently on its longest spell outside of the top tier.
Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd purchased Pride Park from Mel Morris on 17 June 2022 and remains the current owner, as the club competes in the second tier in the 2024–25 season.

Park right in front of the stadium for free (non match day). In the heart of Derby City so plenty to see if your in the locality.

Penmon Priory, Isle of Anglesey (By D0c.Col)

Penmon Priory is on the eastern tip of Anglesey. A peaceful historic site with roots stretching back more than 1,400 years.

Founded in the 6th century by Saint Seiriol, Penmon became an important early Christian site before later developing into an Augustinian priory. Although the original monastery was largely destroyed during Viking raids in 971, the community survived, and the priory was rebuilt in stone during the medieval period.

The church still survivies and serves the parish. The atmospheric priory remains, the ancient carved crosses, and the remarkable nearby Penmon Dovecote, once home to hundreds of pigeons and doves are all fascinating to see.

Drone footage can be taken overlooking the Menai Strait and the mountains of Snowdonia. Penmon is one of those quiet Welsh heritage sites where history, landscape and atmosphere come together beautifully.

There is a small charge if you want to use the Priory carpark, that also applies to the nearby Penmon Point Lighthouse just a little further on up the toll road, where there is also a cafe and toilets.

National Indoor Athletics Centre [NIAC] - Cardiff, Cardiff (By stubbyd)

Not the most inspiring of images, but truth be told I was tired after being on my feet for the prior 8hrs shooting our annual martial arts tournament.

Also, the title is a little misleading as the 'indoor' part is all under that curved white/gey roof. What can be seen is 'Cardiff Met FC' (aka Cyncoed Stadium) and the outdoor tracks which, I'm told, also hosts the NIAC Junior Parkrun.

There is plenty of parking here, but it is at a cost and being private land I don't know their stance on TOAL. However, there is plenty of on-street parking and spots to TOAL and land from and I've marked one of each of these.

Bullers of Buchan (By AlbionDrones)

Stunning Sea cliffs, turquoise sea, amazing light, just had to be flown!

A short walk on a dirt path from the free car parking, no facilities, and some cliff edges to be careful around..

Lots of birds, hence ot flying through the arches, and keeping the drone higher. It is an SSSI, but we flew before the breeding season had properly started, and didnt upset any of the birds anyway...

St Lawrence’s Church, Mereworth, Tonbridge and Malling (By Venners07)

St Lawrence’s Church was built for the 7th Earl of Westmorland in 1744-46, probably to a design by Roger Morris, previously an assistant to Colen Campbell who had designed the neo-Palladian Mereworth Castle for Lord Westmorland twenty years before. It replaced a church, mediaeval with a low tower, next to the castle.

St Lawrence’s is unique among country parish churches, with one of the most remarkable neo-classical interiors in Europe, designed like a Roman basilica. All its surfaces are painted with trompe l’oeil classical designs, and organ pipes are depicted on the west wall above the gallery. The ornate tower and spire have close similarities with several significant town churches, notably James Gibbs’s baroque St Martin-in-the-Fields, London. The display of heraldic glass, contemporary with the church, is unique, and there are also some fine late 19th stained glass windows.

Mediaeval monuments from the earlier church were transferred here in 1744 and can be seen in the NW and SW corners of St Lawrence’s. There is a peal of six bells, rung every Sunday and at all other services.

Major repairs were made to the tower and spire and the interior paintwork was repaired and conserved in 2007-9. This work cost almost £1 million.
