| Is this the Fylde Coast somewhere near Thornton-Cleveleys? |

Yes , I would now confirm that it is the Fylde Coast. |

I don't know how to search for a particular date so that I can narrow down my search. Can anyone help? |

You can date-search by year under the "more search options" button, but unfortuantely not a more specific date. However, I can let you know what else Aerofilms took (claimed to have taken, you know what their recording was like...) on the same date/around the date. Drop me a line (I think you have my e-mail).

Thanks Katy. As you can see I appear to have located this photograph based largely on proximity to the other photos in the series and the date taken. Together with the long view of the River Wyre and the River Ribble in the bottom left. The Roman Road out of Ribchester also helped. |

Eureka We have it! It is in the vicinity of where I had thought it was but now I can add the detail. It is so good to identify a new picture after a very lean period! |

At the risk of getting it completely wrong I think this is likely to be in the Hurst Green area of Lancashire. I shall try to gather more evidence. |

The Hurst Green photo was taken on the same day as our mystery picture. The Uttoxeter shot was on a different day. |
