Pride Park Stadium, Derby added to Sporting Venues and Arenas in East Midlands by D0c.Col on 23/04/2025

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.

Dancing Ledge, Dorset (By Prawntot)

Dancing Ledge is a gorgeous location on the Purbeck Jurassic Coast. It’s an old quarrying site with large fossils visible in the stone, bat caves, climbing opportunities and a tidal pool cut into the rock shelf for swimming too.

It takes a bit of effort to get down to it from the National Trust car park (and a bit more to get back again) but it’s more than worth it.

Tynemouth Lighthouse, North Tyneside (By grenlen)

Standing at the mouth of the River Tyne is Tynemouth Lighthouse, one of the most recognisable landmarks along the North East coastline. Built in 1854, the lighthouse was constructed to help guide ships safely towards the entrance of the River Tyne and the busy port of Newcastle.

The lighthouse stands on the North Pier at Tynemouth, which forms part of the extensive breakwater protecting the river entrance from the North Sea. Its prominent position means it has been an important navigational landmark for vessels approaching the Tyne for more than 170 years.

The surrounding area has a strong maritime history, with the River Tyne becoming one of Britain's most important industrial and shipping centres during the 19th and 20th centuries. The lighthouse therefore played an important role in supporting the ships that carried goods, coal and passengers into and out of the river.

Today, Tynemouth Lighthouse remains an iconic feature of the coastline, standing against the North Sea at the end of the pier. These aerial photographs capture the lighthouse from above, highlighting its distinctive structure, the North Pier and the dramatic coastline surrounding the entrance to the River Tyne.

Darlington Clock Tower, Darlington (By grenlen)

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.

Bodnant Garden, Conwy (By D0c.Col)

Bodnant Garden in North Wales, one of Britain’s most celebrated historic gardens, overlooking the beautiful Conwy Valley.

You can explore how Bodnant was transformed from a Victorian estate into the remarkable garden we see today. Follow the story of Henry Davis Pochin, the wealthy Victorian chemist who bought Bodnant in 1874, and landscape designer Edward Milner, who helped shape its early development.

You can also discover the famous Laburnum Arch, the influence of the McLaren family and Lord Aberconway, the creation of the magnificent Italianate terraces, Bodnant’s important collection of rhododendrons and exotic plants, and the extraordinary story of the Pin Mill, dismantled at Woodchester in Gloucestershire and rebuilt at Bodnant in 1938–39.

Along the way there are views of the gardens, terraces, woodland, water features and colourful planting, together with some aerial footage showing Bodnant in its spectacular setting beneath the mountains of North Wales.

You can park on the National Trust car park for free on the east side of Bodnant Road and the Pavillion on the edge of the car park next to the road is good for sustenance and comfort breaks. Also there is a small car park on the same side but further south down Bodnant Road where you can TOAL in relative privacy, but VLOS is limited here. You can use the whole road for TOAL though as its not owned by the National Trust, but I did notice they have Trust staff in buggies going up and down now and then so be prepared to be challenged.
