An interactive 3D model places a wartime damage sheet over present-day Pimlico, with buildings, streets, the Thames, and the mapped record visible together.

Field notes

The visualization layers a historical paper sheet over modern geometry rather than presenting the archive as a flat image. Its controls expose paper opacity, whole-sheet versus saved-selection views, and close-up damage inspection, while the 3D scene uses contemporary building parts, streets, parks, and water. The project distinguishes verified-looking saved areas from exploratory placement elsewhere and notes that its display rectangle is not an official Pimlico boundary.
