An aerial view of Billingham and the surrounding area. What can you see? Date unknown.

The nearest I can get to dating this image is after 2006 because the La Ronde nightclub is missing, if the small section of white building to the very right centre of the image is part of the old ICI office block then it is before 2012, if it is not the ICI office then it is after 2012.

Looking just slightly below right of centre, Belasis Ave shops are visible and there is clearly building work going on behind them. I think that is now Walsingham Court and according to Right Move new build houses were available from 1995 – 1996. So this image is around 1994 – 1995.
