An amazing footage shows what's left of an abandoned coal mine in south Wales.
Cwm Colliery in Beddau near Pontypridd closed its door for the last time on November 6, 1986, when Britain was facing a period of mass unemployment and a time of upheaval.
Around 800 men lost their livelihood that day - many would leave their towns and villages to find work, while others retired.
What was once the backbone of its community and further afield, the Cwm Colliery site now sits as a testament to Wales' industrial past.
The photographer, Ollie Wells, who lives in Rhondda Cynon Taf said he had a keen interest in the local mining history.
“I live fairly locally," he said.
"I moved to Wales when I went to university where I met my now wife, and we never moved back.
"Where we live now is an old mining town. Over the years I've become more and more interested in the mining history, and especially the technology side of things.”
After joining a few Facebook groups, avid-photographers and historians online began sending Ollie recommendations on interesting sites and locations to film and fly, including Cwm Colliery.
Ollie said: "Someone mentioned the colliery, and I went to have a look.
"I was gobsmacked - it was like a made up place from a film.
"You could almost feel the history. Every window, every piece of metal, duct, pipe and step tells a story. It's amazing. It has to be one of my favourite sites to fly and film. I always capture something new that I hadn't seen before."
The photographer believes that the building should be preserved as it is.
"It would be amazing if it were preserved, but I think it may be too late, as much of it has already been pulled down," he added.
"But it's fascinating to see, and there are not many sites like this around anymore, that give the true sense of scale of the operations that happened on the surface.
"An idea we discussed in one of the groups was to make it an official drone flying space, but that seems unlikely."
