Place and society in Edwardian London:
what the Valuation Office Survey records tell
The records of the vast Valuation Office tax survey date from 1910 to 1915 and are a detailed and unique resource for social, local and family historians.
They hold information on the use and value of lands and buildings, their owners and occupiers, throughout England and Wales as they were around the time of the 1911 census.
Rose Mitchell, map archivist at The National Archives and author on using maps for local and family history, will explain how the Survey was undertaken and the records made.
Then, using London examples, Rose will show how Survey maps and census records used together can (Images: The National Archives) reveal a wealth of information about people and place in Edwardian society.
