BlomHISTORICAL™

Blom has a long and trusted reputation as an aerial imagery provider; many of the datasets that were captured in the distant past have been retained and have now become part of the BlomHISTORICAL™ archive.

The acquisition of Simmon’s Aerofilms in 2005 meant that Blom now owned the massive UK Aerofilms library; this is a library dating from 1919 to 2006 and a mixture of vertical and oblique imagery.  The oblique imagery library section of the Aerofilms collection was purchased by the English Heritage in 2007.  Blom retained ownership of the Aerofilms vertical imagery library; this imagery can be purchased through Blom’s partners Bluesky ltd via their old aerial imagery website http://www.oldaerialphotos.com/

Certain historic datasets, for example the London 1966 dataset, can also be viewed on the BlomURBEX™ hosted service.
