Lineage

The Coalfield Consultation Areas spatial dataset was created during the early 1980s in readiness for the automated provision of coal mining reports that was introduced locally in 1985 and established nationally in 1989. A team of qualified National Coal Board (NCB) / British Coal Corporation (BCC) mining surveyors were engaged to rationalise the mining and other source plans, reference the same to Ordnance Survey National Grid or County Series and subsequently capture the data into the first computerised mining report system (MRS). The spatial datasets were subsequently migrated into the Authority's current ESRI based GIS.
