Drone Over Jackson Pit

A great morning today, filming with Lisa Thomson for the Architectural Heritage Fund.
Lisa and Louis brought along a drone camera to get aerial shots of our re-enactors interpreting life in the cellar dwellings.
The film will be used to promote the work funded by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Challenge Fund.
The Challenge Fund awarded a grant of £100,000 towards our restoration works.
