Historical maps of South Gloucestershire are now freely available online thanks to the Know Your Place West of England project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Know Your Place is a free digital mapping resource that enables you to explore your neighbourhood online through old maps, archive images and linked information. Historic Environment Record data is available alongside the maps and you will be able to upload and share your own information about the area.
Over the coming months, the project will extend to include the counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset, North Somerset and Bath & North East Somerset. More resources will be added, including enclosure and tithe maps, drawings and photographs from archive and museum collections
