Hi Mark
I have the old ED level Townsend scores for 1991 and will send these to you.
For information, I have calculated Townsend and Carstairs Scores for 2001 (emulating the indexes as closely as possible) and these are available (along with the variable definitions) via the Census Dissemination Unit:
http://www.census.ac.uk/cdu/deprivation/index.htm
I also have precalculated 1991 Census deprivation scores but converted to the 2001 ward geography. I am working on converting ED data to 2001 Output Areas to have 1991 Townsend and Carstairs Scores but to the latest small areas (part of my current ESRC research). These should be available by the end of the year. For a user to access these geographically converted scores, in the short term, I would be looking for a research collaboration (fair enough, I hear you cry!).
Cheers
Paul

I have been asked if I can help a colleague with any geographer or other person who has a copy of the Townsend scores for small areas for the West Midlands using the 1991 Census data - it seems all the old files from the era have been deleted and no-one seems to have a hard copy in the local libraries. we need either ED or Postcode level data for Coventry and Warwickshire....
or any other deprivation scores for the same period!!!
