HGIS data of Greater London's Industry 1893-95

<p>Based on the First Revised Series of the Ordnance Survey London Town Plans. You can find a different version of the Georeferenced maps on the National Library of Scotland website:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=11&amp;lat=51.4907&amp;lon=-0.1331&amp;layers=163&amp;b=1">https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=11&amp;lat=51.4907&amp;lon=-0.1331&amp;layers=163&amp;b=1</a></p> <p>Each factory is coded to indicate whether it is on both or just one of the two 19th century series of Ordnance Survey London Town Plans. I have also tried to catagorize the factories. There are some other incomplete fields or fields used in earlier versions of this&nbsp;database.</p> <p>Data used in Jim Clifford,&nbsp;<em>West Ham and the River Lea A Social and Environmental History of London&rsquo;s Industrialized Marshland, 1839&ndash;1914</em>, UBC Press, 2017,&nbsp;https://www.ubcpress.ca/west-ham-and-the-river-lea</p>
