This spatial dataset - for the Wales geographic area only - is held by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). The dataset is a digital version of the 1 inch to 1 mile 'Dudley Stamp Maps' that provide a pre-war land survey. The Environment Agency carried out the digitisation of the survey data for all of Great Britain.

Lineage

The original work was carried out largely by volunteers including schoolchildren who shaded maps of the fields in their surrounding area and people at universities who were responsible for collating these into a series of national land use maps. Subsequently, the Environment Agency undertook to source, scan, geo-reference and disseminate a full set of the 170 published Land Use maps of Great Britain. This work was sub-contracted to the Great Britain Historical GIS team, based at the University of Portsmouth. Because the source paper maps existed in a variety of conditions and there was variation in the editions of the maps available, these sheets have been sourced from multiple different libraries and organisations. The scanning process yielded a seamless geo-referenced coverage of the maps.
