Hi John
Looks good. Out of interest, how have you got around the Ordnance Survey
+ Google Maps problem? (i.e. OS does not permit overlaying "OS-derived"
data into Google Maps)?
Yours
Crispin

Subject: Heritage Connect Lincoln
Hello all
Forum members may be interested in a recently-launched characterisation
web site for the whole of the city of Lincoln - Heritage Connect - which
is the online version of the Lincoln Townscape Assessment.
http://www.heritageconnectlincoln.com/
Using Google Maps, it is very much place/GIS based, with the whole city
divided into 108 'Character Areas', showing detailed information about
each one using maps, photos, written descriptions and (for a selection
of areas) videos. As well as finding out about these areas, users have
the chance to add to the site, giving their memories or comments and
uploading their own pictures.
When accessed from a smartphone (iPhone, Android etc) the site takes on
a more compact appearance and uses GPS positioning to direct the user
straight to their nearest Character Areas, so areas can be explored on
the move
Most of the information is presented via each Character Area, with:
Description (which contains the elements of the Character Area Statement
- Overview, Historical Development, Urban Form, Views, Condition of
Buildings and Streetscape, Use, Relationship to City and surrounding
areas and Key Townscape Characteristics),
Related Information (including abridged Monument entries from the
Lincoln Heritage Database (formerly UAD), archaeological research agenda
zones (from LARA - the Lincoln Archaeological Research Assessment),
Ecological Areas, and Views.
Historic maps and photos

There is also a Lincoln Citywide section.
Information about the background and funding for the project is in the
About and Acknowledgements sections, and the project leader, Adam
Partington, Townscape Characterisation Projects Manager, City of Lincoln
Council, would be pleased to receive any feedback
