I was looking around for images of the area I live in, theres already a few that I've used:

www.old-maps.co.uk
www.getmapping.com

Terraserver have updated their database, and I can now find my house here . I'm right in the middle of that pic.

Anyway, just thought you might like to muck around and see whats in your area, if its covered.

that terraserve thing is pretty sweet

I can pinpoint my exact location from that image... not even *that* much zoomed in

Right, I paid up for a cheapo subscription, you can zoom in for more detail, although the site makes you pay chunks for the uber high res stuff.

Check it out:

If anybody wants to take advantage of my 7 day sub to this site, pm me with a link from that site, with your house centered in the image. I'll zoom it in for you and email/post the image for you. There is another satellite that has been spying on my gaff, I'm gonna look at that now.

PS my house is a bit foggy, presumbly the day the images were taken, it was quite humid/cloudy.

Can zoom in quite close to my house on streetmap.co.uk, but I don't think they have many aerial photographs for outside London. Good for tight bastards like me though :)

You should try www.getmapping.com, they've got the entire UK covered. If its not on their website, email them and they can find it for you. I got my sister a nice A4 photo of her neighbourhood, it was pretty damn good quality.

My block of flats, if I traced the roads correctly (lots of vegetation in the way).

Should zoom in to two blocks, with an industrial estate just to the east/right (the 4 sided white blob).
