The Map & Collection currently holds about 60,000 paper air photos, focusing primarily on London and Southern Ontario. Holdings include print photos dating from 1922 to 2001 and are filed primarily by county. Air photo collections prior to 1969 are scanned, georeferenced and available for access through a custom web application.Collections dated post-1969 are available for viewing in the Library. Patrons should be aware of what can and cannot be copied by reviewing the Canadian Copyright Act. Copies of the Act and the agreement with the University are posted in the Map Collection. Please be aware that a 50 year copyright restriction applies. Air photos can be scanned at our scanning workstation at a resolution of your choice. Urban areas are very often found within the county coverage (ex. the town of Strathroy is included in Middlesex County). Specific urban places are also filed separately for quick reference, and on the Map and Data Centre's webpage. For questions please contact Western Libraries.

The V1 ('flying bomb' or 'doodlebug') and V2 (a ballistic missile) were two new weapons developed by Nazi Germany. In 1944 and 1945 thousands were fired at London. They killed thousands of people and injured many more.

This dataset includes all impact sites for V1s and V2s within the London County Council boundary. These were manually compiled from bomb maps published in 'The London County Council Bomb Damage Maps 1939-1945' by Laurence Ward (Thames and Hudson, 2015). The original LCC Bomb Damage maps are held at the London Archives.

**Please note that this is not a comprehensive dataset of all V1s and V2s. Only those within the London County Council boundary are included.**

We previously analysed this dataset in 'The flying bomb and the actuary', Significance (2019). doi: 10.1111/j.1740-9713.2019.01315.x

The impact sites can also be viewed as a layer on Google Maps. Data is separated into two layers: V1 sites and V2 sites. Each point represents an impact site, with the closest street name (to help with possible cross-reference) and page number in the LCC Bomb Damage Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1VwyxV_e_LAwzbyJPCAF-C7aCRVNA5W7N&ll=51.509018493447314%2C-0.05324588962980492&z=14

In 2024, over nine million people lived in Greater London, making it the most populated ceremonial county in England. The West Midlands Metropolitan County, which contains the large city of Birmingham, was the second-largest county at just over 3.03 million, closely followed by Greater Manchester at three million, and then West Yorkshire with a population of 2.4 million. Kent, Essex, and Hampshire were the three next-largest counties in terms of population, each with just over 1.9 million people. A patchwork of regions England is just one of the four countries that compose the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, with England, Scotland and Wales making up Great Britain. England is therefore not to be confused with Great Britain or the United Kingdom as a whole. Within England, the next subdivisions are the nine regions of England, containing various smaller units such as unitary authorities, metropolitan counties and non-metropolitan districts. The counties in this statistic, however, are based on the ceremonial counties of England as defined by the Lieutenancies Act of 1997. Regions of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland Like England, the other countries of the United Kingdom have their own regional subdivisions, although with some different terminology. Scotland’s subdivisions are council areas, while Wales has unitary authorities, and Northern Ireland has local government districts. As of 2024, the most-populated Scottish council area was Glasgow City, with over 650,000 inhabitants. In Wales, Cardiff had the largest population among its unitary authorities, and in Northern Ireland, Belfast was the local government area with the most people living there.

The population of the United Kingdom in 2024 was estimated to be approximately 69.3 million, with over 9.6 million people living in South East England. London had the next highest population, at almost 9.1 million people, followed by the North West England at 7.7 million. With the UK's population generally concentrated in England, most English regions have larger populations than the constituent countries of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which had populations of 5.5 million, 3.2 million, and 1.9 million respectively. English counties and cities The United Kingdom is a patchwork of various regional units, within England the largest of these are the regions shown here, which show how London, along with the rest of South East England had around 18 million people living there in this year. The next significant regional units in England are the 47 metropolitan and ceremonial counties. After London, the metropolitan counties of the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, and West Yorkshire were the biggest of these counties, due to covering the large urban areas of Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds respectively. Regional divisions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland The smaller countries that comprise the United Kingdom each have different local subdivisions. Within Scotland these are called council areas, whereas in Wales the main regional units are called unitary authorities. Scotland's largest Council Area by population is that of Glasgow City at over 650,000, while in Wales, it was the Cardiff Unitary Authority at around 384,000. Northern Ireland, on the other hand, has eleven local government districts, the largest of which is Belfast with a population of approxiamtely 352,000.

IntroductionThis is a spatial dataset that describes the location and extent of Wood Pasture and Parkland habitat across England. Wood Pasture and Parkland is a Priority Habitat as listed in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) 2008.Wood pastures and parkland are the products of historic land management systems and designed landscapes and represent a vegetation structure rather than a particular plant community. Typically, this structure consists of large, open-grown or high forest trees (often pollards) at various densities, in a matrix of grazed grassland, heathland and/or woodland floras.Why is it important that Natural England publishes this dataWood Pasture and Parkland (England) is a priority habitat as identified in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) and listed as being of principal importance for the purposes of conserving or enhancing biodiversity under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) act. Wood-pasture and parkland are mosaic habitats valued for their trees, especially veteran and ancient trees and the plants and animals that they support. Specialised and varied habitats within woodpasture and parkland provide a home for a wide range of species, many of which occur only in these habitats, particularly insects, lichens and fungi which depend on dead and decaying wood.LineageThe Wood Pasture and Parkland Inventory (WPPI) was initially created in 2011 under contract by Exegesis as a provisional inventory. The inventory was established by collating exsisting datasets, drawing on specialist knowledge, refering old maps and aerial photography. This inventory included data from: OS county series maps (Epoch 1 1843 - 1893, Epoch 2 1891 - 1912, Epoch 3 1904 - 1939, Epoch 4 1919 - 1943) and first and second edition UK perspective Aerial Photographs dated 1999 to 2009. Modern OS maps were used to created polygon boundaries and these boundaries were mapped to the OS Master Map framework.This first inventory did not cover all England, subsequent inventories added missing counties e.g. Greater London by using the same techniques.Data was added to the inventory in subsequent years based on expert feedback and survey work.The inventory was updated in 2020 by collating data from the existing dataset, local record centers, local councils and other sources all verified by OS county series Epoch 1 - 4 maps and aerial photography. Parkland was defined as areas with a minimum of 3 trees, excluding boundary trees, which had less than 250 m between trees. Park extent was mapped to boundary features where park trees were less than 100 m from the boundary or the boundary included a large tree which was less than 250 m from a park tree.Some areas of woodland were included where possible park trees were present. Some open areas and wooded areas were not removed as the precise extent of parkland habitat was difficult to determine from aerial photography.Cemeteries and churchyards were excluded unless they were entirely within the park boundary.The minimum mappable unit for the inventory was 0.25ha. Metalled roads and rivers were excluded according to Natural England mapping rules, therefore some areas <0.25ha may be present if separated by a road.In 2025 the inventory was updated further by remapped all polygons to a new version of OSMM and by aligning the attributes to the Priority Habitats Inventory (PHI), which had also been updated since 2020. A series of datasets remapping Cumbria was added to the inventory to replace and update all the polygons Cumbria. Further data was added via submission to the PHI mailbox (habitatinventories@naturalengland.org.uk) on consultation with NE habitat specialists.AttributionColumn HeadingFull NameFormatDescriptionObjectIDObjectIDgeometryGeodatabase identifierShapeShapegeometrySpatial format identifierMainHabsMain HabitatsTextName of Habitat presentHabCodesHabitat CodesTextCode representing main habitats present in the polygonFeatDescFeature DescriptionTextAdditional information about the nature of the habitat or features presentFeatCodesFeature CodesTextCode corresponding to the habitat feature descriptionsOtherClassOther habitat classificationsTextAdditional Habitat classification information relating to main habitatsAddHabsAdditional habitats presentTextList of codes for additional habitats present within the polygonPrimSourcePrimary data sourcesTextList of primary sources for main habitat present in polygon.
