Access to those reports within the Historic England Research Reports series that relate to geographically defined sites such as a building where a building assessment or dendrochronology has been carried out, or a field covered by a geophysical survey. It important to note that there a lot of reports in the database that do not have a spatial location e.g. those that are thematic. These are still available via the Research Reports database. Spatial data relating to reports within the Historic England Research Reports series. This is point data for the grid reference given in the report, or where this was not available from other sources. The majority of reports relate to discrete features such as a building where a building assessment or dendrochronology has been carried out, or a field covered by a geophysical survey. However, there are also a small number of thematic reports that have contained detailed gazetteers allowing multiple links to the same report e.g. Police Stations, Jewish Cemeteries and Shropshire Inns. The most extreme example of this is the Gas Industry report where over 1500 points are used. There are also a number of large area projects covering extensive regions. Because this is a point layer, these are merely covered by a centre point for the feature. Data updated frequently.

GIS is where things are and how they relate to other things in space and time. The analysis of spatial and temporal data, usually resulting in a graphical representation such as a map. And who doesn't love a map!

The Zip folder from the website where the shape files were downloaded from below, contains a range of key GIS boundary files for ESRI and Map Info covering Greater London.

The folder includes:

• Output Area (OA) 2011,

• Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) 2004 and 2011,

• Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) 2004 and 2011,

• London Wards (two files: City of London merged into single area and split into separate wards). There are separate download file for 2014 & 2018 boundaries.

• London Boroughs

Note: The OA to MSOA boundaries have been generalizad to reduce file size/loading time.

I thought this would be simple, but there are many subtly different definitions of what a map is and I discovered i didn't really like all of them. After some time i settled on the following:The important thing to remember is that all maps are wrong. They have to be as they are generalisations.

If you have just completed an Introduction to ArcGIS Online and are starting to think that this GIS stuff if quite useful or interesting, here are some additional applications you might want to have a look at - all explained in as plain english as we can manage!

Service providing links to datasets available on SNH Natural Spaces. Contains direct download links for all the published datasets in various formats (Shapefile, GML, KML, etc.)

Our map currently looks overwhelming with too many layers thus making it difficult to understand. We can use cartographic tools to make it not only prettier but also easier to gain valuable information out of.

GIS spatial data for Scheduled Monuments, part of the National Heritage list for England. Scheduled monuments are represented by a polygon defining the extent of the statutorily protected area. Scheduling is applied only to sites of national importance, and even then only if it is the best means of protection. Only deliberately created structures, features and remains can be scheduled. There are almost 20,000 Scheduled Monuments on the List. Scheduling is reserved for carefully selected sites, which create a representative sample of sites from different epochs. Data updated frequently.
