Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Beat me to it, but the aerial photos are higher res than Google Maps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Re: the hi-res thing. It seems to depend on exactly where you are looking. On both Google and Bing if you look at the main urban areas the aerial views are hi-res, but if you are looking at an obscure village in the middle of open country-side the resolution isn't so good.

.... 23 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 The resolution on Google seems much higher than Bing for my suburb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 The aerial photos on the link I posted are all old images, mostly pre war Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 04 188 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Great links. I have wanted to do a photography trip along the Beeston canal from the Trent for a while now. Thank's to the above, I know what it will look like all the way, great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 And to think how it was 150 years earlier... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 This is 1 of the photos, showing Wilford power station and Clifton colliery. That's an interesting one to me, because you can see that the Power Station is still in the process of being built; the area facing the camera is still work-in-progress, and in those early days there was eventually a row of 6 chimneys. And compare it with this, which is a few weeks/months earlier http://www.pictureth...015672&prevUrl= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
