Heartlands recently used a crane to survey Robinson's Shaft head frame, which is at the centre of the Heartlands site. We thought it would be a good idea to take some aerial photos to show the extent of the project from above and the developments so far.
The photo above shows the view looking down on to the head frame. The head frame at Robinson's Shaft will be incorporated in to the exhibition at Heartlands.
The photo below shows the winding house, this building will also be part of the exhibition.
The above photo shows the carpenters shed to the left, which will be converted in to a cafe and restaurant. The building in the centre of the photo is the old Compressor House which will contain the biomass boiler, a key part in Heartlands aim to become zero carbon.
Above shows the view to the east of the site. The market square will be surrounded by the new buildings which include artist studios, office space, apartments and a community building.
Diaspora gardens with planting from around the world will be located to the bottom left of the above photograph, with a play area, events arena and open lawn occupying the remainder of the space.
