Sharon B. asked:Help please? My son has a project to do for Geography. He needs to get a Arial map of Randpark ridge or Northcliff from 10 years ago. He has searched google maps and can only find current Arial maps. Even if there is a photographer that might have something for us to buy or get a copy. Or anyone know where we can get this info from.Natanya H. replied:Try https://m.facebook.com/BookCollecting/ ......James Findlay worth a shot....never hurts to ask . Goodluck xx
