London Google Earth 1690 – Tweak

By Posts

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.

Sneak Peak Google Earth London

By Google Earth 10-20, Virtual London

We have posted a number of models recently so we thought we would post an image of the level of detail we are working on in Google Earth London. This is a first phase test for new modeling techniques developed at CASA.

Sample high detail Google Earth files will follow shortly….

London Google Earth 1690

By Google Earth 10-20

Using image overlays it is possible to compare cities over time. The above and below images illustrate the layout of London in 1690 – post Fire of London – in Google Earth. It is interesting to note when changing the transparency how the shape of the Thames has been modified with the building of Embankment.
