Is this one of the photos that turned up recently from the 1940s where some random Ministry with random cash in the budget and a random RAF plane and hi-def camera after the war decided to photograph every square inch of the UK, then years later when no-one was bothered about the collection they offered it to all of the various counties in England for their own safe keeping and most of them refused except West Yorkshire ?
