My new app, London Streets, is out - well, on Android anyway (the Apple version is in the review/approval process…).
The Android version is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voetek.apps.London_Streets
The app aims to provide an immersive, engaging and slightly quirky exploration of the origins of the names of City of London streets. It includes …
-
an initial set of over 40 historic streets in the City of London
-
over 100 historic and contemporary images
-
3 historic maps (from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries)
-
an “easter egg” of a panoramic view of London from 1616
-
3 “rediscovered” Victorian-style inventions (an early CCTV system, a rare example of a nearly-working Scroll-O-Scope, and a curious invention that automates interactive images of old London)
Feedback welcome to help shape its future direction!
