| place data |
Raw data from the Old Cumbria Gazetteer has been downloaded
in comma delimited form for places that are shown
on Thomas Jefferys's map of Westmorland, 1770. 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.
Fields
The fields in the table are:-
- source the map type; eg Jefferys 1770
- source image the web page filename where the
part map image, roughly a 5Km square, can be found (the
image filename is the same with extension .jpg);
eg J5NY40SE.htm
- source quote how the place is labelled on the
map; eg 'Sle[d]dale'
- source placename a regularised version of the
map's placename; eg Sleddale
