Historical Mapping

Landmark’s digital archive is the UK’s largest and most comprehensive comprising over 1 million historical maps, covering England, Wales and Scotland. The historical maps give a complete step by step picture of land use changes that have occurred between the 1840’s and the present day.

Each map is site centred for ease of comparison and overlaid with the current National Grid so that historical features can be accurately identified and transferred to modern mapping.

Historical Maps (1:2500) and Historical Maps (1:10,000)

County Series maps are the earliest maps produced by the Ordnance Survey and each one covers an individual county, yet does not provide coverage for adjoining counties.

Some maps may appear unfinished, with all military camps and other strategic sites removed.

Historical Building Plans

Exclusive to Landmark, Historical Building Plans dating between 1886 and 1970 are now available digitally for the first time. These plans were produced by Charles E Goad and their original purpose was for Fire Insurance companies to assess the fire risk to particular buildings.

Ideal for identifying previous occupants of buildings and past land uses, with very detailed information including; building materials, industrial building uses, on-site tanks, engines, stores and asbestos.

Colour plans of 54 UK towns and cities. Over 10,000 geo-referenced, site-centered plans primarily at an approximate scale of 1:500.
