These photos have now been added to the digital atlas as an additional layer which you can select. They represent a key new feature, meaning that users can get a sense of how each of these locations appear today. This is especially useful for the international users of this website, who now have the chance to make a ‘virtual visit’ to these places. It’s also very fitting that, as part of a project which focuses on different perspectives on the city, we have this new collection of different views and vantage-points.

Thank you again for contributing to our project and enabling us to extend the resource in such a useful way.

Be part of our website – add your photos to the map!

The interactive digital map at www.medievalchester.ac.uk will soon include a layer of photos of medieval locations in Chester today. We need your help to do this!

How to help:

1. Take digital photos of medieval locations in Chester which are on our map (e.g. St Werburgh’s, St John’s, the city walls, the gates etc.)
2. Upload them on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/groups/1204980@N21/ (Mapping Medieval Chester Group)
3. Remember to add a tag for each photo, identifying the subject – this is important
4. We’ll do the rest – your photos will be added to the map in the near future and we’ll let you know!

 Your photos will provide an integral dimension to the map, allowing our users all over the world to see Chester sites for themselves, and enabling you to include your own perspectives on the city. Thank you!
