The Tables for both 1851 and 1991 show the distribution of people employed in agriculture, manufacturing and services in each county. The map below shows the percentage of men employed in manufacturing in 1991.
In 1851 a special census of education was undertaken in Great Britain. The maps below shows the percentage of boys aged 5-14 attending school in 1851. Figures have been recalculated on the basis of the 1974 counties to simplify the materials for school children.
