Kerry's Spout is a cold water spring located along the east shoreline beyond the Back of the Beach. Oral tradition has it that a British man named Kingspear moved to Branch at the same time as Thomas Nash and settled in Easter Cove. Little is known about Kingspear except that he converted to Catholicism and changed his name to Kerry. Kerry's Dock was located close to this spout which is still used as a source of drinking water.

By trying to assign each piece of information a location which can be referenced by latitude and longitude, we can:

Help tourists locate pieces that have interest to them, as well as other points found nearby
Archive areas that have held cultural significance in the community for future generations
Develop tours with people in the community that link pieces of information that are part of a story

For an example of Google Mapping try the Cultural Heritage page for Branch.

Images can be added for each piece of information to:

Help visitors identify locations or landmarks
Archive areas that have held cultural significance in the community for future generations
If the images carry over an extended time frame, they can help show the changes in the landmark as well as the surrounding community

For an example of an Image Gallery, view the listing for Adrian Power's Hearth.

Video and Audio can be added for each piece of information to help fill in the cultural context.

For example, this video is related to the poem/story Branch In a July Sun.

Stories from others can help populate the intangible assets of an area, and provide context to the other pieces of information in the structure.

For an example of a Story, view "Story of the Little Green House" by Jay McGrath in the Intangible Assets section.
