Aerial photographs

The craze for aerial photography has provided us with an incredible resource for tracking changes within the town.

Historic England provides the online Britain from Above archive which contains images from aerial surveys of Sidmouth in 1925, 1928, 1932, 1947, 1950 and 1953. I have links to the ones which show aspects of the eastern town displayed below. If you follow the links to the website and create a free account you will be able to zoom in and see remarkable detail.
