poking around Deptford 1623

[tamaranth]

Am dead impressed by the British Library's London in Maps downloads: old maps as layers in Google Earth, so I can superimpose John Evelyn's map of Deptford Strand on present-day Deptford, locate 'historic' pubs and fried-food outlets, and make much more sense of changed street-names and Mr Evelyn's orientation. All without leaving my bed.

Oooh, that looks very cool.

It is! And so much more wholesome than actually going to Deptford.
