Previous Item It’s not! The system has been funded by the UK National Lottery and is intended mainly for a very wide non-academic audience, whose immediate interest is mostly in local history. Our home page is therefore designed to take them as quickly as possible to the place they want to know about. However, once they get there we try to put each local area into a national context: key statistical trends are compared with the national pattern; and clicking on particular dates within the graphs takes you to maps, which are initially focused on the local area but you can zoom out to see the national pattern. You can go straight to these maps by selecting “national overview” from the home page.
