These tables together hold the text of the various historical gazetteers, mostly from the nineteenth century, which we have either computerised or obtained through collaborators. NB the tables with the _2015 suffix have the same structure as the production version of this information behind the Vision of Britain site. They are inteneded to form an archive of the pre-2016 system, and should not be extended or replaced.
