mile stones to gravestones, as well as thousands of bridges, historic houses and churches.
The site brings together the English Heritage online "list" of listed
buildings, The "Images of England" website (which also includes most listed
buildings but also has pictures of some) and the "pastscape" site which has
archeological records. All of these were available before but it is nice
