Hence the importance of ground truthing.

I have worked with a similar early visual record - 'A plan of Coalbrookdale by Thomas Slaughter, 1753'. I always suspected that the depicted buildings may have been reasonably accurate.

That's really interesting - close attention to detail. You could walk through that landscape in 1744 with the map and recogise individual buildings as you passed them?

Does the 1744 illustration reflect the appearance of the actual building?

I❄️E 'throw' loads of stuff at people when they get mad!

Proof you need to invest in a bigger stick!

Antone - Hamtun - Southampton? I'm interested in the unnamed built places in Wales. Might relate to Swansea and Aberystwyth?

Bodiam Castle, kind of??

This is what can happen when one applies archaeology to Middle-earth! 😉

It's set at a lower level. It may be a sough.

Schrödinger's Trump!

The 'warmth' was the Epsteinian 'golden rain'!

ITMA - It's That Monkey Again! 🐵😉

Probable dinner plate from a ships's dinning service, London & Edinburgh Steam Packet Company. Circa 1820s.

Plate is cracked, but otherwise intact. It would appear that, given the short life of the company, 1821-1836, few artifacts from the original London & Edinburgh SPC survive.
