How we choose them

We pick landmarks with good public sources: the organisations that run them, heritage registers and official records. The first, Big Ben, has a Parliament that publishes its own history and restoration records. The Great Laxey Wheel is on the list because it is an Isle of Man landmark, like REALLYBYTE.

Independent, not official

landmarks.im is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any landmark, owner or organisation it cites.
