I’ve created a mashup of lots of maps of Manchester as a proof-of-concept of how easy it is to mashup using OpenLayers. It’s not particularly pretty but does involve lots of maps.
The layers are:
- OpenStreetMap
- Ordnance Survey Street View
- Ordnance Survey 1:25000 First Series (1959)
- Ordnance Survey New Popular Edition (1948)
- Marr Map of Housing Conditions (1904)
- Swire Map of Manchester (1824)
The first four maps are all hosted on OpenStreetMap servers.
The Swire map also contains an inset, dated 1650!
