Enhanced Historical Mapping

Landmark's digital archive is the UK's largest comprising over 1 million Ordnance Survey historical maps. 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 and are available individually through Promap or as a complete set through our Envirocheck service. 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 located on to modern mapping. Historical maps are available at scales of 1:10,560/1:10,000, 1:2,500 and 1:1,250 scales.

In our commitment to continually listen to our customers we have improved and enhanced our historical map pack. This includes increases the breadth of maps that are included as standard and an increase in the clarity of pre and post war historical maps.

• Increased our map offering with nearly an extra 3,000 maps
