Our Aim:
Map-olah's aim is to provide a map of locations for classic and less well known legends and historical sites, initially for the UK.
-How Florence Nightingale helped to inspire this site - the Map-olah map!
On a canal boat trip along Cromford Canal in Derbyshire, we stopped below the village of Lea whereupon our guide informed us that Florence Nightingale had lived up above the valley at Lea Hurst. As our group returned to the canal boat a primary school child complained 'We learned all about Florence Nightingale at school, but not that she lived just down the road!'
And that comment was one of the inspirations for the Map-olah website and map, so that a range of local legends and historical sites, some classic and others less well known, can be found for local residents, holidaymakers and teachers!
