Online map

Objectives

Create an online map that details every accessible industrial heritage site and all local history sites that are deemed significant by the society.

Please note, the society is predominately focused on industrial heritage; therefore, we need to limit what local history sites we include in the map that are not industrial. For example, one could add every single historical church to the map; however, that would not necessarily be appropriate; therefore, we could just add ecclesiastical sites of significant importance such as Worcester Cathedral and Malvern Priory.

Example map

Here is a protoype that demonstrates:

• How the map clusters sites together when zooming in and out
• The information provided by every marker when clicked
