A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
These tables together hold the text of the various historical gazetteers, mostly from the nineteenth century, which we have either computerised or obtained through collaborators. NB the tables with the _2015 suffix have the same structure as the production version of this information behind the Vision of Britain site. They are inteneded to form an archive of the pre-2016 system, and should not be extended or replaced.
