Lincoln, St Nicholas

A spare 5 minutes in Lincoln resulted in:

St Nicholas, Lincoln.

St Nicholas, in the suburb of Newport, was designed by architect Gilbert Scott, who later went on to design St Pancras station and the Albert Memorial. Scott, who had made a name for himself at an early age designing workhouses, went on to design many churches and St Nicholas is typical of the Gothic Revival style adopted from Pugin. The church was completed in 1840.

Geotagging & Location Map

All photographs contain geotags in their EXIF data and their location can be viewed on a map in a pop-up window - just click "see map" on the slide page. By default, the map is set to satellite, but you can change this as well as zoom in and out as is the usual way with Google Maps.

A new feature now implemented is the Location Map page, which uses the Google Map API to show all locations on a single map with an alphabetical list on the right-hand side. If you click either the name on the list or the marker, a pop-up appears with a thumbnail image that links to the relevant slide page.

This page was created using a Google Spreadsheet and the Spreadsheet to Map Wizard found here.
