Unfortunately I had done a fair bit of work on the original kmz data <i>after</i> putting it into Google maps, so the old version, which is still available, is not quite up to scratch. If I'd thought it through, I would have done everything in kmz first.

I hadn't realised that the workhouse building had that history - it looks far too charming.

A tip of the stove-pipe hat is called for; I might even go so far as to suggest a firm handshake.<br />Suggestions:<br />An addition to the entry on Columbia Market: it was built on the site of Nova Scotia Gardens, the site of the notorious London "burking" case of 1831 (murder in order to sell the victims' bodies for dissection). Not strictly Victorian, I know, but interesting;<br />In Upper Norwood, the Queen's Hotel on Church Road opposite the top of Fox Hill: a huge 19th century hulk of zero architectural merit, but where Emile Zola lived for a year or so in exile, after publishing his letter "J'accuse" on the Dreyfus case. He spent his time photographing Upper Norwood extensively, pictures in which girls on bicycles showing shapely ankles show up rather frequently.Chris Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00026745342576904269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458031571764013912.post-24570705859533752262009-07-17T06:36:28.023-07:002009-07-17T06:36:28.023-07:00Cosmorama duly added!
