Shobnal Fields. DE13 0RA, Burton upon Trent.

TOAL was from a public footpath, marked on an O.S. map.

Care would be needed during the hours the leisure centre is open.
1. more people would be around and 2. The Obersturmbannführer from the council may be about and give you grief. (Your name may go in his little book).

ICI Power Station (By Kcscott)

The power station and buildings have been Abandoned since 2000s and the buildings going to ruins. Plenty to see and explore with the drone as there are also smaller buildings situated around the grounds.
History:
The Power station is situated on the old ICI site which was a leader in explosive and chemical manufacturing. Many processes in explosive manufacture require steam, heat or power - in most explosive factories, this is provided by at least one on-site power plant, and ICI Ardeer was no exception. The power plant still standing is not the original, it probably dates from the '40s or '50s. Three coal-fired boilers provided steam which was sent through insulated overground pipes to buildings all over the factory, and there was also enough steam to drive two electrical generators.

Prospect Park and The Mansion House (By apreading)

Plenty of parking in or around the park. Dense woodland at the top, so probably best to fly the drone from the open areas at the foot of the hill, which are wide open spaces.

The Mansion House has an interesting history and is an iconic and well known building in West Reading. Some

Prospect Park is a public park situated north of the A4 (Bath Road) in the western suburbs of Reading.
It is the largest park in Reading, and includes a large regency style house, known as The Mansion House (previously as Prospect House).
