Britain from Above

Post by pharvey »

Some great images available, and well worth the look. Has been somewhat slow loading this evening as the site states that traffic is high..... :cheers:


More than 15,000 images from one of the earliest and most significant collections of aerial photography of the UK have been made freely accessible online to the public for the first time.

Britain from Above, a new website launched by English Heritage and the Royal Commissions on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Wales, features some of the oldest and most valuable images of the Aerofilms Collection, a unique and important archive of over 1 million aerial photographs taken between 1919 and 2006.

[EDIT] This introduction on the Telegraph website is also worth a look http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picture ... itain.html

And certainly seems quicker to view - at least from China!
