There's a "Britain from the Air Project" which has just been mentioned on the MEN website. Here's the link:

There are a couple of Marple photos, apparently from 1929, which are quite interesting:

If it is old photographs that you want to see there are 1089 of old Marple alone (heaven knows how many others of the whole Stockport area) to be seen by googling Stockport Library Stockport Image Archive. The only problem is that the connection to the site can be slow when the internet is busy.

Thanks, Marvel. Those were the links I put in but the site shrinks them somewhat when it embeds them.

And thank you, marplerampler. I didn't know about those. I'll see if I can find them.
