Just discovered the historial imagery on Google Earth, and there's aerial photography of my childhood home from 1945, except it's just a field. Which I found oddly moving.

I'm saving this rabbithole for later, I'm looking forward to seeing my great-grandma's house and remembering when it were nowt but fields (it's a housing estate now)
1985 looks like early satellite imagery, but very very low resolution, so it's just a blur. Zoom out and you might get a vague sense of the shape of your neighbourhood!

Back to the scrappy maps it is for me then! Am pretty sure this were nowt but swamp until 100 years ago (when these houses were built)
