This project uses Peripleo to map heritage at risk data from Historic England and avoids the costs of using ESRI. Peripleo is a powerful tool for visualizing and exploring geospatial data, making it ideal for showcasing heritage sites that are at risk.
The Heritage at Risk Mapping project aims to provide an interactive map that highlights heritage sites identified by Historic England as being at risk. This visualization helps in raising awareness and promoting efforts to preserve these important cultural landmarks.
- Interactive map displaying heritage at risk sites
- Detailed information about each site, including its risk status
- Search and filter functionality to explore specific areas or types of heritage
The data for this project is sourced from Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. This register includes buildings, monuments, and other heritage assets that are at risk due to neglect, decay, or inappropriate development.
