Vision of Britain

Post by Pandabean » Fri Mar 04, 2011 2:01 pm

Just stumbled across the following site, so apologies if it has already been mentioned.

http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/index.jsp

It gives a nice scrollable continuous map interface and census summaries/reports all the way back to 1801.

Enjoy.

This is a great site - I could play with it all day.

Thanks for pointing it out.
