Land Use UK

An example square from the Land Use Survey of, I think the 1960s, although the scale of the map here suggests it may be from the sample used in 1996.

This was carried out in Mike Morrish's Presidential Year in 1995-6.

He told me:

The joint focus of my year was the national Land Use UK survey carried out by schools, in conjunction with the GA's first Geography Action Week. Preparations for these had been going on for the preceding two years. My main memories are of the many meetings that the preparations involved, and the crucial role of Rex Walford in bringing these joint projects to fruition. Of course, the Annual Conference at Southampton University in 1996 was an exciting end to the year, especially delivering my Presidential Lecture (on China).
