Also, I know this isn’t specific to Leeds [yet] but Google Earth have added aerial photos from 1945 to their timeline. Currently they cover London, Midlands and West Midlands, Merseyside, South Wales and Tyneside. Fingers crossed for when they get to covering Leeds.Does anybody know when Google started doing this? Just checked that out and the images for our house, here in t'Midlands, hasn't been updated since 2005. Maybe these foreign places are left till last Chris

You'd think they'd be done all at once, does the Google plane only go over cities and larger towns? I know this town is only mildly small, about 18000 peeps, but I've seen smaller places that are up to date.

That's only my little joke connected to my fave prog The Beiderbecke Trilogy. Alan Plater invented the name, it never existed. I live in Rugeley in the Midlands now.

I've had a look on Bing as well and their map is older than Google's, we've been in this house 7 years and the previous owners car is on our drive.
