Memories from your past

If you like searching your memories of where you grew up join the Britain from Above site,and type in the area you are interested in.

If you're lucky you will find aeriel photos going back as far as the twenties of your town,house and school.In many cases you'll see what it was like before your home was built.....green fields galore!

If you join the free site you can zoom in to the pictures.
This is my old school in the fifties...I wonder if I'm on it?...I remember the ice cream van parking outside the school.

What a brilliant site! Just found a picture of our street the year that I was born, what an eye opener...

Hi Poohdog. Funnily enough I have just purchased a digital image of my town from them from 1947. If I look carefully, I can see my kitchen door. What struck me most is that I can only see three cars and two busses.
