Retro

Bishop’s Castle Pubs

Bishop’s Castle Pubs - current and former.

Data

• OpenStreetMap via QuickOSM plugin - buildings, historic and highways
• Font: BellTopo Sans from Sarah Bell.

Tools

• QGIS

Process

• Download OSM layers.
• Extract current pubs from buildings label as a new layer.
• Labelled current and historic pubs.
• Fiddled around endlessly with styles in an attempt to get the map looking retro!
• Added a background via Project > Properties and chose turquoise/blue.

What would I change or would like to improve?

• Not happy with this, but not sure how I could improve it!
• Haven’t really used any new to me techniques, except maybe using callouts for the labels, which I haven’t often done. But doing the styling has stretched me!
