Historic Aerial Photo Resources

I am beginning to worry about the time taking to bring NCAP back up. I had a few queries I wanted to sort out and aerial photos are the best for more accurate timelines.

Thanks so much for your patience while we assess the scope of essential maintenance works required on some of our websites.

Due to the complexity of our sites, this work is anticipated to run into late February. You can find out more here Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards

I have noticed also that HERs are also affected presumably because their databases etc is linked to HES.

Attempts to connect to their sites seem to be redirected to a site with some alternate sources, at least PASTMAP does.

Shame as I think my subscription runs out soon. They mentioned something about an Apache on the web page redirection. Late February is a big worry though.

I would think they will extend your subscription.

One of the pages says there was a need to improve security to close off vulnerabilities

Good find, and it seems not all photos are restricted to Oxfordshire....

Brilliant. I have seen most of these on NCAP but the zoom levels are much better here. I assume the original photos were council funded hence the ability to publish them. That's Sunday sorted
