Aerial views of the Evesham battlefield

These aerial views are RAF Survey photographs taken in 1946.  They are the earliest aerial views of Evesham that we have been able to find and lack much of the later industrial and residential "clutter" that has accreted round the battlefield since World War II.  These photographs come from the Battlefield Trust website and are reproduced with the Trust's kind permission.
