Here is a nod to the geo profilers. Dave

Just curious, where would 60 Wentworth Street be?

Thanks,

Hello Curious. I do not know the numbering conventions, so I do not know where 60 would have been. I am trying to find them, but such a small detail, is difficult to find. If you have a cross street or two that could help much. Here is what I have. Dave

What is this place?

All the London people must be down the pub, Dave. If you mean what is that round thing in North Greenwich, it's the Millennium Dome, often called The O2.

Thank You very much GM. I have been looking at that damn thing for months and wondering. Dave

rail syatem according to Bacon

Here is the rail system according to my 16 and 17 overlays. Above ground in blue, below in red. This map is not complete, it is just the rail system on the Bacon maps. I am efforting more data. The large blue blob at the top left is a major rail terminus, more than 5 lines. The red sections at the far left are lines that dive under meat,poultry,and fish markets. Dave

Do you suppose....

The metropolitan public library at left, Mary Kelly at right. The line is 1282 feet long. Do you think she had a card? Dave

Thank You Roy

I am efforting the scaling of the detail image you posted onto google earth. I would gladly except any such detail images you have, scale them to ge and send you the resulting kmz file as long as it does not exceed 10mb, my mail limit. Send me a pm to get my email. On behalf of future students, thank you again for sharing with the community. Dave

sheet 16 hospitals

I have noticed on these boards, at times, and only among a few, a tendency to belittle or denigrate Victorian medicine. Here are the hospitals on sheet 16. The white square is as always, our favorite neck of the woods, which by the way, contains London Hospital. Notice there are hospitals of many disciplines. On sheet 17 there is a T.B. specific hospital. Note also the proximity to our area of interest. Dave

17 hospitals

I could not let 16 be alone. I am such a softy. Dave

Almshouses and workhouses

Almshouses tend to be quite small, of a similar size to churches. Workhouses tend to be very large, on the order of cathedrals. Dave

Hi, Dave,

Thank you.

That's great to see.

that old timey religion

For some reason Bacon fealt the need to distinguish between Catholics and Christians and Jews. So here is what he had. The great synagogue near mitre Square is not represented, by virtue of my dumb ass failing to turning the plot on prior to capture. In order: Jewish, Roman Catholic, and Reformed Christian ( which by the way has a healthy dose of Baptists).

an overplayed card

We all have had a healthy dose of how prevalent alcohol was in our saga. Demographically however, I think the card might be overplayed. Here are the 16 and 17 distilleries. Compare this with the religous institutions and you may in fact have the source of the bias. Dave
