Coal deposits in England and Wales
The mineral endowments data includes a GIS of exposed coal fields which derives from British Geological Survey 1:625000 digital data. The data on coal prices covers a number of locations in certain periods. One period is from 1691-1702 and is drawn from Houghton's price reports as mapped below. Another period is 1842-3 using data drawn from a poor law unions survey. See below for a map showing coal prices (highest – red, lowest - green) of this dataset.
