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.
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.
