Street Map Features… Skeletons?

Saturday July 5, 2008
Archaeologists and construction workers have discovered many skeletons buried beneath London over the years, around 37,000 logged by the Museum of London alone. Many have been kept in museums, but others have been reinterred and it’s these bones which now feature on an electronic street map of London marking their location. Now you’ll know part of what’s under your feet thanks to Britain’s Times newspaper and the Museum of London. The map is on this page, at the top left, and starts very zoomed out.
