    I've used this before just for interest (I was bed bound for 10 years) but...
    Back in the 1990's while I was in the RAF I was granted access to historical Arial photographs of the UK going back to the late 1920's and especially the 1930's right up to the 1990's.
    We used to search for Roman buildings by the crop/ground markings.
    The 1930's pictures where phenomenally clear and where taken much lower than from the 1940s onwards.
    We found quite a few particularly in Cumbria where I'm originally from, but they could be difficult to locate when your on the ground, there wasn't commercially available GPS at the time.
    Great video Cleggy, you've reawoken my interest again CHEERS 👍

      I live in Cambridgeshire at the moment and dug up a 1670 coin in my front yard the other month.
      There's a short video on my channel, there's only 3 videos so not hard to find 🤣
