🤣 me, on my phone!

Just something to add a bit of colour to the post!

A decision reversed after the 63 AD earthquake I think? - Andrew

If you buy this map (and you really should!), trace the route of Buccleuch st. towards #Kelvingrove Park. At the end of the street The Tenement House museum can be found today & is well worth a visit for a snapshot of the era around the date of this map. The motorway you’ll see is newer though!

At the top of our map you’d see #Glasgow Botanic Gardens, still there today in the same layout with stunning greenhouses hiding past intrigues & possibly murder!
As I (Andrew) consider my visits to the city, this map could still be used for transport/tourism. www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/lk0606.htm

A short, lovely walk away you'll find the grandly imposing #Glasgow University complex, sitting with all the weight & posture of a gothic cathedral. The Hunterian Museum noted on the map is still open today, & a fascinating place to look around, as well as an excuse to see inside the University.

I appreciate it. Getting things right is important!

I'm very sorry, and very happy to be educated/corrected!

Love this, brilliantly compelling!

- Andrew

This map illustrates how important places on the seeming edge of the map can be. The port & habitations have been important since Viking times, not least to the locals who call the #Orkneys home.
Yet again, your author finds himself wanting to visit a place depicted beautifully in black & white!

Once more, a map I have no connect to was enhanced & hooked me with the extensive and excellent writing from our team of researchers. The language of the streets and geographic features are annotated perfectly, drawing the reader into the stories and lives of those in #Kirkwall & #Stromness 1902.

Really? Fantastic!

The nearby Georgian Quarter – one of the biggest & most handsome in the country – is very well worth a walk around too, especially Rodney Street, which has been on TV countless times in period shows. There are also some excellent local pubs and restaurants nearby.

But I prefer the place literally overshadowed by the mighty church; a former quarry, repurposed as a cemetery when the great red walls rose. Dozens of feet below street level, you feel subsumed by the catacombs of the departed. The eeriest place in #Liverpool & a feeling well worth experiencing.

The grandeur of the 20thC building couldn't be grander.
As a former local, I (Andrew) have a warm feeling when I see it - the view means home, as much as seeing the stately river from the dock, the imperial might of St Georges' or the railway cutting as I go into the rambunctious Lime St Station

You've got me looking over the map again now!
