The basic M4OPS prototype mapping system can be accessed here. This has many historic maps for our village, and you can manipulate it in many ways. (Note that this is only a prototype system so at any time may not work as intended.)

Perhaps the most interesting view uses a “Series” of maps to show changes over time, and you can access this directly here.

To have a little lesson in what is possible try clicking on the “Demo” button, and then when ready on the “up arrow” (↑).

You should be able to see various things:

  • try using the slider to compare maps
  • try selecting different maps to be the base and overlay layers
  • have a look at the Pubs Feature Layer, and try hovering over some of them
  • you can also “List” the Pubs and hover over the list
  • clicking on any of them “freezes” some of the display, and you can interact again with the blue button
  • the Census Entries Feature Layer has more information about who was where over time
  • you can see it from the people’s point of view by clicking on “People” and again hovering or clicking
