After we uploaded a picture of Southend seafront from 1000 feet, we received a few emails asking about aerial photos of South Essex, and so thought this page might be of use.

The following extracts were taken in 2000 and 2004 during flights over Southend. For a bit of fun, test your local knowledge by seeing if you can recognise these areas of Southend…

Your own overhead

If you’re curious to see what your house looks like from overhead, check out www.getmapping.co.uk – on their site you can view your house by putting in your postcode. If you’re interested in a higher resolution image, you can order a digital copy, or an A3 poster of your street in photo quality. Well worth a look! They make a great gift idea too…

You might also be interested in taking a look at Essex – High in the Sky – This is a CD containing a collection of images
from Essex. Priced at £9.99 from www.amazon.co.uk, the images aren’t as crisp as those from Getmapping but it still shows some excellent images of Essex from above.
