HISTORIC images of York from the air have been released by English Heritage.

The conservation organisation has unveiled vintage pictures from around the country, to help promote its library.

Two years ago, the organisation launched a website showcasing a million aerial images taken from 1919 onwards. Four of the York images are below, and more can be found at www.britainfromabove.org.uk, by searching by keywords or locations.
