[edit] Resources
- Statistics: Office for National Statistics, Census related resources, Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA), Neighbourhood statistics (Parish data etc.)
- Population data (see below for England): Ayrshire, East (PDF), Falkirk, Moray, Lanarkshire, North
- Maps:
- Multimap
- OS Get a map
- Ordnance Survey for Northern Ireland
- OpenStreetMap is starting to get good coverage of some parts of the UK (eg Isle of Wight, North London, NW Surrey, Birmingham, Bedford).
- Ordnance Survey® Election Maps–boundaries of civil parishes, wards, boroughs etc., up to street map scale. The draconian terms and conditions don't seem to prevent GFDL licensing of research by Wikipedia editors, as long as the editors themselves don't use the information for financial gain, and no-one copies actual extracts, mapping data or layers from the maps.
- Books: There is a list of UK geography books and the Wikipedians who own them at Wikipedia:Library/Places#UK. You can request info from the owners of the relevant books.
