The panorama is taken outside of St Patricks Church in Soho Square, London. St Particks was one of the first Catholic churches established after the passing of the Catholic Relief Acts of 1778 and 1791.
The area around the church was grazing farmland until 1536 when Henry 8th claimed the area as a royal hunting park. The first development took place around the 1600’s with Soho Square dating from 1681.

Fitzroy Square is one London’s hidden treasures, designed by Robert Adam it is dedicated to Charles Fitzroy the fourth Duke of Grafton. It was also famously home to Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw.
The model is 1mb in size, which is notable for Google Earth but represents part of the first stage of highly detailed rapid modelling being researched at CASA.
More models will follow in the coming weeks as the development process is refined.

The image overlay of London 1690 has received a lot of interest. So much so that we now have a project at the lab to put more of these up as soon as copyright is cleared.
Frank Taylor from the excellent Google Earth Blog has sent us a tweak to the original file so that the Tate Modern now sits on the banks of the Thames rather than slightly in it due to a misalign. Thanks for that Frank.
A number of key landmarks which were around in London 1690 and other overlays which are coming shortly will be added. Hopefully making it a good resource of the teaching of History and Geography.
