google earth II

[Lord Lucan]

I can look at these maps for hours on end...thanks to all who contributed!

[protohistorian]

Thank You LL, I will keep it up then. Here is a macro one. Tottenham to Breezers Hill, 6.18 miles. Stepney is also on the map. These are the centers as known By google earth. Dave

[Suzi]

Shows you 'relatively' close Breezers Hill is to Whitechapel/Spitalfields doesn't it though

[protohistorian]

Here are the pubs as indicated on the overlay. I am efforting more data, this list is not complete, and in fact only contains the beer halls I have heard or read about by name. Dave

While I am still plotting stuff and learning this program, I thought a word to my peers might be in order. Any location seen in any post on this thread can be viewed in relation to any other point also seen. I cannot help but notice the lack of suggestions, or even requests. Was I the only geographically inept ripperologist? Oh woe is me! Dave

[protohistorian]

Here are the vics plotted so far before I rush off to bug the hell out of the map librarian. One is the pre c5, the other non c5 in general. Dave

[protohistorian]

Does anyone have the Key to the ordnance survey maps? Dave

[protohistorian]

Here is a slightly more accurate plotting. While I cannot get the plot for Mrs. Carthy's house, the Stepny gas works is dead on now. Straight line distance SGW to Breezers 1.35 miles, Breezers to MJK, .79 miles. Dave

[protohistorian]

Because I cannot seem to let well enough alone, and because I cannot plot some positions on the overlay, I have undertaken improving my overlays in ge to better facilitate accurate overlaying of points. Here is a before and after sequence to demonstrate.

[protohistorian]

And here is an example of old vs modern. The plot for SGW was a modern one based on the environmental abatement of the site before development. This is represented by the pin. now I have maps extending out that far, so you can see the commercial gas works in relation to the pin. Yes there are seems in places on my overlays, primarily as a result of using maps from books. These seems, while optically unappealing, are within the tolerances of the surveyors who made the maps. I think the overlays are close, tell me what you think before this turns into a watch Dave's downward spiral into map madness thread. Dave

[protohistorian]

There is a gherkin in me map!

So here is an example. Emily Holland and the shadwell dry dock fire. Dave

I begged you guys to stop me. What the hell is a matter with you! Dave
