Interwar aerial photos of Bolton available on new English Heritage web site

June 25, 2012

Today (25th June 2012) English Heritage launched Britain From Above.

This new site publishes over 16,000 aerial photographs taken over the UK in the interwar years.

This is a fascinating project and includes a member log in so anyone can add extra information to the site.

There is a great selection of aerial shots of Bolton including many long demolished factories.

1. Hello Winston, I don’t have any knowledge of a Chalkhill Estate in Bolton (which this site concentrates on) though there is the more famous Chalkhill Estate in Wembley but the Britain From Above site doesn’t appear to have any images.
  
  The nearest I could find was at the following site run by Brent Council, which might be able to help you with your enquiries.

1. It seems that the site has been updated so the link is broken. This has now been corrected in the post
