Clerkenwell Design Week in May 2023 created markers with QR codes for us, linked to this page and the trail.
More below on earlier maps and the idea of Clerkenwell Commons.
The first map above builds on a Discovering Clerkenwell poster created by Mike Franks in 1977, and a history trail with pavement markers for the Millennium. Further research by David Wilcox with additional photos by Penny Dampier. More here on the locations, and further development encouraging Pride of Place. Supported by The Peel Institute.
