How We Lived Then - a Bird's-eye View

The historic images Bluesky brought together on www.oldaerialphotos.com offer a real insight into the development of every village, town and city in the UK. Images from virtually every decade in the last 100 years make this a resource for anyone with a personal or professional interest in the past. The images have proved an invaluable resource for many, including solicitors and expert witnesses, wanting evidence to substantiate their boundary disputes, planning disputes or rights of access claims.
 
Visitors to www.oldaerialphotos.com can search by simply entering a postcode, address or grid reference. Detailed search results, including the age and ground coverage, of every image that matches the search criteria are displayed. The photos that are available to purchase from www.oldaerialphotos.com include some of the earliest commercial aerial survey images, military photography from World War II and many national archives.
 
Options for purchase include single images, either a print or digital, for reference or local history studies or alternatively a more comprehensive archive photopack.  The pack can be used for obtaining irrefutable evidence for use in boundary disputes and other land based disagreements or studies. The OldAerialPhotos Photopack contains two digital images; one image of a location and date of choice from the historic collection (subject to availability) and a corresponding image from Bluesky’s most recent survey for comparison purposes.
 
The Photopack also contains A4 printed versions of each of the aerial photos, a certificate of authenticity detailing information about the photographs such as date and time taken, height etc and confirmation that the image has not been altered, and finally a copy of the archive search details and the supporting flight report from the archive scan, where available.
