Local Studies Pack

Local Studies Resources Pack

The National Monuments Record (NMR), which is the public archive of English Heritage, has designed this offer especially for people interested in finding out more about their local area.

Aerial photography provides a fascinating resource to anyone studying their local landscape. Of interest to historians and archaeologists alike, these photographs reveal a unique view of the history of your locality. Whether you are interested in medieval field systems, wartime defences or urban growth, aerial photography can play an important part in your research.

Choose any site in England — it might be your street, your village or your town centre — and the NMR will provide three different aerial photographs for £15.00 including VAT. The photographs will be copied from the NMR’s unrivalled collection of aerial photography, mostly black and white, vertical photographs taken between 1945 and 1975. In addition to the photographs they will supply information from the heritage database on the archaeology and listed buildings in your area.

The pack includes:

• 3 aerial photographs, laser copied onto A3 size paper

• An index of the listed buildings in your area

• Full listings for the archaeology in your area
