Big wheel in Chesterfield town centre

06/03/2026

A couple of days ago I took full advantage of the dry weather, and decided to wander into town to test out my new/used drone and my new/never used flying skills in and around Chesterfield.
I tried a few familiar locations, starting at the bandstand at Queen's Park, while the sun was getting low but still shining, and finishing at Chesterfield's world famous Grade I Listed Church of St Mary and All Saints, otherwise known as The Crooked Spire.
More videos and pictures to follow soon, but for now please enjoy this video of Chesterfield Town Hall on Rose Hill in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK. 🙂

Yesterday I took full advantage of the dry weather, and decided to wander into town to test out my new/used drone and my new/never used flying skills.

I tried a few familiar locations, starting at the bandstand at Queen's Park, while the sun was getting low but still shining. After a quick(ish) recharge, I ventured back out to get a couple of night shots.

Obviously the first image and video to publish is of Chesterfield's world famous Grade I listed Church of St Mary and All Saints, otherwise known as The Crooked Spire.

More videos and pictures to follow soon, but for now please enjoy this photo and video. :)

MUSIC VIDEO: Maybe I'm A Goth - by Lesley Davies

Lesley Davies is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from the Peak District UK.

"Around 2010 my husband Paul and I started watching a lot of American HBO TV series plus several gothic fantasies. I began to think about the titles of the programmes we were enjoying and had a (not altogether serious) realisation about myself.

We used to go to Whitby quite a lot in those days and we went to the Goth Festival several times and loved it.

Also, I think I was quite a sensitive child who sometimes had morbid thoughts. I remember imagining that my mum and dad had turned into skeletons - it was just a little girl’s fear of death and losing her parents I suppose."

Maybe I’m a Goth was recorded at Buzz Hawkins Studio with Becky and the Sharks.

Vocals and acoustic guitar – Lesley Davies
Keyboards – Steve Davies
Cello – Brigit Forsyth
Bass – Monica Gillespie

Maybe I’m a Goth was written and arranged by Lesley Davies.

The other night, I took this photo - with my phone!

It's amazing, really.

I think back to my childhood, a time before such science, when ignorance reigned and life was simple. When people feared the moon, and threw rocks at it to fend it off.

Happy times indeed.
