Dear List Listers may find this interesting. http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/ launched on 25 June 2012 http://www.thecourier.co.uk/Community/Heritage-and-History/article/23517/britain-from-above-historic-photo-archive-goes-online.html “The collection was acquired for the nation in 2007, at the start of a programme to conserve, catalogue and digitise the collection and make it freely available online. The photographs featured on the website date from 1919 to 1953. Due to their age and fragility, many of the earliest plate glass negatives and old photographic prints were close to being lost forever.”   PEMBROKESHIRE http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=Pembrokeshire 102 images   CARMARTHENSHIRE http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=Carmarthenshire 46 images   CARDIGANSHIRE http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=Cardiganshire 17 images   MONTGOMERYSHIRE http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=Montgomeryshire 16 images   and GLAMORGAN http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/asearch?search=glamorgan 700 images   search by specific area name as well, eg Lampeter = 0 images !   but some spectacular photos… suggest this link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2164074/Britain-Above-Thousands-historic-aerial-photographs-online-time-today.html   A delight for all Family Social Historians, Social Anthropologists and Social Archaeologists   Jen
