Historical Aerial Photography

Historical Aerial Photography

During WWII, the Ordnance Survey was heavily hit and instead of producing standard maps in the immediate period following the war, they relied on historical aerial photos from the Royal Air Force.

These 'Post War gap fillers' provide critical missing information for the period between 1944 and 1951. The photographs have been digitised for the first time from the British Library, with additional photographs provided from Landmark's own archive.

The product features:
• Partial UK coverage of over 6,000 photographs
• Provided at 1:1,250 and 1:10,560 scales
• A3 prints or PDFs start from £10 plus VAT
• Ideal for identifying WWII bomb damage and potentially unexploded bombs
• Essential for investigating site history, understanding historical land use and identifying contaminated land

Please note that coverage is limited to cities and important installations.
