Raedwulf BS: Fun with maps (50) RE: BS: Fun with maps 12 Jun 20


Pightle - "pie-tle", I imagine, Sen? Now you've told me the name of your road (more or less), I shall be stalkin' 'ee, lass! ;-)

There are a lot of fantastic map sites out there, depending on what you want you them for. I've been writing a series of not very serious "Streets of London" things for a small group of friends on Facebook; a bit etymology, a bit random obscure (mostly) facts; so I've been squinting (often) at old maps from time to time recently. If you like that sort of thing, there are some fantastic sites out there.

Leake's 1667 map of London

The Agas Map of London

The Agas Map is a bit of a misnomer; it used to be thought that Robert Agas made it, but it's the earliest authentic & complete map of London we have. That is, literally, just a couple. It takes a bit of patience sometimes, but if you're keen on genuine maps, there's a lot of stuff out there.

British Library is another one, though it's a bit of a sod to navigate.
