| place data |
Raw data from the Old Cumbria Gazetteer has been
downloaded in comma delimited form for places that are
shown in Joseph Farington's Views of the Lakes, 1789.
The data is suitable for loading into a flat table, as used
by dBase, Access, Oracle and other relational table
systems. The limitations of such systems make it impossible
to provide the full data from the original MODES
database which works on more powerful
principles.
You may have to alter the file extension from .cdf to
whatever suits your software.
