Land Utilisation Survey of Britain information


The Land Utilisation Survey of Britain (also Land Utilisation Survey of Great Britain[1]) was a comprehensive survey of land use in Great Britain in the 1930s. The survey was the first such comprehensive survey in Britain since the Domesday Book survey in the 11th century. A Second Land Use Survey was carried out in the 1960s. Subsequent work has mainly been based on satellite imagery, with sample field survey work for quality checking.

  1. ^ Covers of sheets printed by G.W.Bacon e.g. Scotland Sheet 12 Wick (1936) and England & Wales Sheet 76 Thetford (1935) are identified "Land Utilisation Survey of Britain", whilst covers printed by Ordnance Survey e.g. England & Wales Sheet 55 Grantham (1935) are marked "Land Utilisation Survey of Great Britain". In all cases the map sheets are headed "Land Utilisation Survey of Britain".
