Aerial View of Shapland & Petter’s Site & Barnstaple Longbridge
Here’s another super-hi-quality scan of an old aerial postcard. Plenty of buildings & structures visible that unfortunately don’t remain with us today.

I scanned the image at 1200dpi so you should be able to zoom in and have a good look – leave a comment if you spot anything interesting! 🙂
From The Air – Town & Taw
I noticed this old postcard on eBay the other day, an old aerial photograph of Barnstaple, looking down the river Taw towards the estuary.
As I didn’t recall seeing this particular image before, and after noticing a couple of things on the eBay image, I decided I wanted to see it in more detail. So I purchased it, and scanned it in high resolution.
Click the thumbnail to load the hi-res version of the photograph, or here’s the lo-res standard version.
