The "Blackest of the Black Country " .. I can see why in the old 20s and 30s photos... I could just about imagine the horrible pollution in that area.. Looks like still industry laden area but some tree and scrub brush trying to survive in that environment.. at least all the smokestacks and smog no longer polluting the air.. Great work capturing the area Andy.. Cheers from Missouri USA..

The absence of vegitation is quite shocking, and the pollution was terrible.

Andy, that Drone is a definite asset to you! The first shot with it on here, I immediately looked for the canal line and went "Bloody hell, there it is!" At the Wallows, it ties in with my other (And more major) interest, railways, the Earl of Dudley's railway system actually assembled locos at the Wallows, which were sent in "Kit" form from E.B.Wilson. By the way, would you happen to know what that Air shaft, in the middle of the junction at Park head serves?

Ian -I think it is simply a mock air shaft built for cosmetic purposes. I have an old image of the area from the 1950's and its not there! I am loving drone dimension - but had a scare last week when I hit high winds and a rain squall at altitude - I have never undertaken quite such a frantic landing!

@@lifeat2.3milesanhour57 interesting, I couldn't work it out when I was up there a couple of years ago. It does look like a miniature version of the pepper pots over some of the tunnels in the area
