Exploring EC1 through maps and stories
Exploring EC1 is prototyping how media and maps can help people explore and engage with the past, present and future of their neighbourhoods. We are focussed on Farringdon and Clerkenwell - which has a rich history, lots happening, and big changes in prospect. Contact - david@socialreporter.com

We are collaborating with the Footways project to experiment with different types of maps showing quiet and interesting routes in Clerkenwell and City of London.
There's a lot of great self-guided walks in Clerkenwell and the City to explore our heritage, and enjoy quiet and healthy streets - but information is spread widely. We have pulled together existing information on Clerkenwell maps ands trails using the free Wakelet bookmarking tool. More links below.

I've linked markers on the maps to more detailed information sheets, and also curated stories from the EC1 Echo. Currently these information sheets are hosted in Dropbox Paper, because it is easy to add images and video, edit and update. I'm exploring other options
