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. Uniquely sourced from the three best archives; Ordnance Survey, Trinity College, Dublin and the Royal Geographical Society, 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.

Landmark is the only company that can guarantee you have access to all the historical maps for your site. You can't afford to overlook a potentially contaminative historical site, so reduce your risk by purchasing your historical maps from Envirocheck.
