Looked at my parents gaff but as they live in the sticks the picture is not good enough quality. Birmingham is fantastic though
I think they can be several years old.

Google Maps online uses the same or a similar database - might be a useful resource for us here? For example -

I've mentioned Fen Drayton gravel pits - here they are:

Westwood Marsh:

Minsmere:

etc, etc, etc...
