Historic Aerial Photos Now Online

Aerial photographs of Kent from the 1940s, 1961 and 1990 are now available to view through Google Earth’s historic imagery tool. Google Earth is a free program that can be downloaded from the web.

The photos were scanned in and rectified from Kent County Council’s aerial photography collection as part of the Interreg ARCH project.
