Excerpt:
Engineering timeline is the name we have given to any combination of items or events in the history of engineering which can be located on a map of the UK.
On this site, the results of any search you make are shown as a dot or series of dots on a map. Next to the map, the search results are listed in chronological order. These form the engineering timeline, linking elements of engineering history across time and place.
Annotation:
The Engineering Timelines site creates timeline maps showing the locations of significant engineering constructions or events in the United Kingdom. A step-through animation reveals the timeline order of each engineering achievement. Clicking on the icons produces a pop-up screen with a brief description, some with images, of the construction. Navigation is difficult and entries must be very specific. Additionally, the descriptions are generally very brief and only a few are accompanied by images. The site's usefulness is largely in its ability to show the chronology of engineering developments.
