These data derive from a time dynamic GIS of the railway stations of England, Wales and Scotland 1807 to 1998, which is structured so that it can generate a GIS of rail stations for any given year between these dates.
These data were created as part of a wider research program directed by Leigh Shaw-Taylor and Tony Wrigley, which aims ultimately to reconstruct the evolution of the occupational structure of Britain from the late medieval period down to the early twentieth century.
