Thanks for insights into the processes behind these fabulous maps. I Iive in Smithfield, where the Fire stopped, so particularly interested in before and after the fire mapping of that and neighbouring Clerkenwell.
What other methods are used in research like this? How is consistency between every measurement achieved? What other data is there (EG materials of buildings, building heights, building architectural styles...)? With sufficient data, one could build a 3D model which besides being beautiful could have research uses. Even the 2D map could be used to simulate Black Death's spread.
I just picked up these maps last month! They're great. Would love to have a Roman London map at the same level of detail.
Thanks Patrick. Museum of London Archaeology produced one of the Roman City about a decade ago. It's probably due an update by now, but still worth getting hold of. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Londinium-New-Guide-Roman-London/dp/1907586059
Thanks Matt! I should have mentioned I picked them up at Stanfords - a treasure of a shop.
It is indeed... and I'm giving a talk there next week! https://www.stanfords.co.uk/event-atlas-of-imagined-cities-by-matt-brown-rhys-b-davies-and-mike-hall-897296577217

The sushi bar on Long Lane is pre-fire, isn't it?
Really interesting. Thanks
Those maps are wonderful.
Well those sold out fast!
I love maps! So many stories and interesting revelations into the past. Thanks for sharing!
