These aerial images, with rather false colours are the original GetMapping Millenium Project aerial survey, carried out in 1999. They are also used on FlashEarth.com, but from the Microsoft Virtual Earth, they seem a little better quality?, but our direct links to maps now opened at a blank map due to their site changes, so these links were updated too.
