VIDEO AND PICTURES: Drone footage captures derelict Coalite site
These photographs taken from the air show the derelict Coalite plant in Shuttlewood.
The sprawling, former factory looks eerie in the drone images, taken by Lee Retallic, of LeesHoverVision.
Lee, formerly of Bolsover but now lives in Shirebrook, is a qualified drone pilot and his father used to work at the plant, off Buttermilk Lane.

Derbyshire County Council has approved £2m to help redevelop the 140 acre former coking works and the council has applied for a further £5.8m for the project from D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership
