Compass Consulting gathers Historical Maps for land use studies. We cover sites throughout England, Scotland and Wales, as well as the Isle of Man, the Isles of Scilly and the Channel Islands. We are also able to supply European mapping. Just ask. Using our Historical Map Sets our clients can clearly see the previous historical land-use that has occurred on the site over the last 150 years. These Historical Map Sets may also show features that might otherwise be hidden by development or vegetation. We supply A4 extracts of the maps and copy them on behalf of our clients. WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE MAPS, we only charge a fee for the time it takes us to collect the maps. Our Historical Map Sets can be used in the completion of:
There are a number of issues that can come to light from undertaking an Historical Map Search. The common ones are the locations of closed land-fills, disused air-shafts, changes of river courses, demolished factories and levelling of ground. Some of these could have serious implications for the next owner in terms of environmental contamination and possible clean-up. Others could be highly important for the developing engineers, who need to know what their foundations are going to be dug into. If you already use Historical Mapping or now think you should be, and are interested in our services and products, then please contact us. We will be delighted to discuss areas where we may be of assistance to you. |
