I'm not sure what's left apart from what's visible from the air. It's a big site and has had an interesting history. The original site was a colliery and then it was a production plant for ordinance during the war, then a storage facility for naval armaments. There's plenty of videos from urbex people but it's a dangerous site with dilapidated buildings with asbestos and in poor condition. Plus, it's surrounded by a large fence and [arts are ;eased to a farmer for sheep grazing.

Thanks. The shots aren't as aligned as I would have liked but the original photos were taken from an aircraft flying higher than I am allowed to go with the drone. So, the angle isn't quite right but they do give a sense of the changes, or lack of, over the years. I've got a different one coming next week hopefully, which shows an even greater change to the landscape.

@@theboy-uk Nobody knows. Lots of people have theories about it. The reddish colour would seem to indicate that it’s iron ore based. But, nobody knows where it’s from and how it gets here. It’s been tested and isn’t toxic but it’s starting to stain the boats that are moored there long term. One theory is that it’s coming from old mines and is being routed to the harbour due to the railway tunnel that goes under the town. So, Network Rail are involved along with the Environment Agency, plus the Harbour Commissioners and anybody else who thinks they can solve the problem. It’s been there over a year and all the headless chickens are getting nowhere.
