Back gardens in Normandy houses/cottages

Post by Sam »

Hi there.
Apologies for a lengthy absence from this forum. I've played a lot of games since we were allowed to have mates around the table but not posted any updates here.I aim to change that as and when time allows.
I'm sorry that this first post is asking for help but can anyone send a link regarding the above, please? I am scratch building various stuff and while I have lots of good pics to reference for what buildings looked like, I can't find any that show back gardens.
All help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mick

Not sure if this helps but it shows a bit more than the usual front street view. https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-norma ... 01881.html

Thanks Edward, that's just the kind of thing I've not been able to find. Aerial photographs may be the way to go!

"Aerial photographs may be the way to go..."

This site may be of help: https://remonterletemps.ign.fr/
It has some past photos including some WW2 recon shots - depends on the area, and they're certainly not GoogleEarth quality, but may be worth the time searching?

Here's an example from a search for Villers-Bocage: https://remonterletemps.ign.fr/telechar ... ns.4967689
