- Image purchasing options will be limited (Canmore, Britain from Above, Scran, NCAP)
- Any enhanced services which require a log in will be unavailable (My Canmore, Britain from Above contributions, Scran contribute)
General access to these services will all continue. Enquiries will still be able to be submitted.
We anticipate services to be restored from Monday 1st February 2021.

 Are these parallel lines evidence of peat cutting? If so, it's happened on quite a large scale here. Moorland where peat has been extracted would narrow it down a little bit. |

Maybe it shows different vegetation where land drain pipes are dug in underneath. Sometimes these wide bands are evidence of medieval field systems- strip lynchets. On moorland it's more likely that it's drainage and improvement? |

| This is an rope-incline railway - looks like a winding engine building here - maybe the Cromford and High Peak - which linked the Cromford Canal to Rowsley on the main line. |

If it is a railway, it's not the CHPR. Their inclines were double track all the way down. There were other inclines, though, that used this short passing loop arrangement. |

| A passing place on a single-track railway line? |

Unlikely, as the geometry and scale of the feature does not fit that of such features on a railway. It looks much more like a farm track where a new route has been selected around a wet patch.... indeed farm tracks, with tractor/wagon ruts, do have some the of the characteristics of railway lines if not the conventional geometry. |

Looks to me like a minor road or farm track crossing largely level counryside - I don't see the evidence for it being a railway but happy to be corrected. |

Looks very like Elsdon Northumbria, but can't find an exact match |
