Aerial photos show Sydney of the 1940s

A collection of aerial photos taken in the 1940s is providing an amazing glimpse of the Sydney of years gone by.

The photos — taken while Australia was at war — are available in a searchable format similar to Google Maps.

They are available at lite.maps.nsw.gov.au.

For detailed instructions on how to find an aerial shot of your neighbourhood watch the video above.

Please bear in mind that Sydney has grown a lot since the 1940s so many modern areas of the city are not covered.
