Its been nearly three months since my last video in my ongoing series capturing the redevelopment on this site, and wow so much progress in that time despite the poor winter weather.

The engine house you see at the start of my video used to supply power to the hydraulic lifts and capstans in the Great Northern Railway goods warehouse next to it. Its great to see a roof on it now and look at that craftsmanship with the lead flashing on the tower.

About 70% of the former Great Northern Railway goods warehouse is now surrounded by scaffolding. A lot of the new houses have now got roofs on them.

This is Part 15 in my series, this will be an ongoing project over the next few years as the buildings get repurposed and the houses get built. This video is part of a dedicated playlist of videos I have on this site, if you have missed any then you can work your way through them from the very start before anything was happening on this site :

The goods depot closed in 1967.

Wavensmere Homes is overseeing the £75 million project that will also see another listed building restored on the site - the engine house - and the building of 276 new homes.
The 19th Century Bonded Warehouse and Engine House will deliver a total of 111,275 sq ft of flexible offices, health and fitness space, a restaurant/café, together with a regional sales centre for Birmingham-headquartered Wavensmere Homes.

Best viewed on a large computer screen or smart TV as this is recorded in 4K resolution with great music so a real waste watching it on a small phone screen. Did you know you can cast it to your smart tv from the YouTube app?

Information on my drone flying :
● My drone is a Class C0 drone sub-250g type, because its such a lightweight drone (236g), I'm allowed to fly it over residential and commercial property and people (but not crowds) without permission.
● I passed the theory test and have both valid flyer ID and Operator ID's.
● I have drone insurance (£5 million public liability insurance cover).
● I strictly follow all the CAA guidelines on flying my drone.
● I always fly in Cinematic mode (slow speed) as this is safer in urban environments.
● I plan all of my flights in advance of taking off to ensure I know my complete flight path and am aware of any obstacles in the way.
● In order to maintain VLOS (visual line of sight) with my drone I use extremely bright Strobe lights, if there are trees or buildings in my way then I have to land and carry on from a different location this means that I often have to join bits of flights together, I try and line up edits using telemetry to match altitude and position etc. but its not always possible to get good joins in clips so this can mean jump cuts and fades between clips.
● I carry out a risk assessment before each flight and ensure all batteries fully charged, GPS has a good fix etc.
● I always engage with anyone nearby informing them the reason for my flight.

Thanks
Andy
