[Geowanking] GB Historic Counties polygons

[Barry Hunter]

The best source i know of is
http://www.historiccountiestrust.co.uk/

doesnt (yet) have all counties. But is working towards it.

It would be nice to get a public dataset :)

As to changes, I dont think they changed that much - in recent times,
but over the years they have changed, the above site should have more
about this
