Nineteenth-century builders often named new streets after recent victories, so battle names may record when a street was laid out. I match 6,885 OpenStreetMap highways in the United Kingdom against a table of 111 battles, join the pieces of each street into 3,352 streets, and set aside streets named after battles before 1793 (1,008) and names...

Airports and railway stations carry the names of places, and sometimes the place is a long way off. I measure the straight-line distance from 4,448 airports with an IATA code to the places they are named after, using Wikidata's places served, airport labels, Natural Earth towns and 11 names under which airlines sell secondary airports, and from...

I compare the capacity of 11,658 sports venues of 1,000 seats or more in Wikidata with the population of the place each stands in. A first pass finds 321 venues with more seats than their place has people, but most are artefacts of how places are recorded: of 375 venues read by eye, 133 stand in a district or suburb of a larger city, 17 have a...

From which beaches can one watch the Sun set into, or rise out of, the open sea, and on which days of the year? For the 1,717 named coastal beaches of the United Kingdom and Ireland in OpenStreetMap, I place an observer at the water's edge, eye 3 m above the sea, and cast rays every 0.25 degrees across the year's sunrise and sunset bearings,...

Victorian builders, landowners and councils named thousands of streets after statesmen, but did the names they chose follow local politics? I build a national table of commemorative street names from OpenStreetMap (15,593 streets), with a name table that separates unambiguous party commemorations (Gladstone, Cobden, John Bright and Palmerston;...

The kingdoms of early medieval Britain disappeared more than a thousand years ago, but their names are on shop fronts, pubs, police stations and street signs. Do these names still sit where the kingdoms were? I read every UK feature in OpenStreetMap named after one of twelve early medieval kingdoms, from Wessex and Mercia to Elmet and Rheged,...

Parliamentary e-petitions record where their signatories live, which turns every petition into a map of public concern. This paper analyses the geography of the 734 petitions to the UK Parliament elected in 2024 that reached about 3,000 signatures by 2026, using 30,338,613 signatures counted in all 650 constituencies. Following an analysis plan...

How much of Great Britain lay within a day's travel of London, and how did that change between the coaching era and today? I build a multimodal network model on a 2 km grid for five dates (1750, the 1830s, 1850, 1910 and today) from historical GIS of the turnpike roads of England and Wales and the railways of 1851, a reconstruction of the 1910...

Open, crowd-sourced archives are attractive sources for the geography of live music, but little is known about where they look. I place every United Kingdom event in the MusicBrainz database, an open music encyclopaedia edited by volunteers, into its local authority and ask which places this record remembers. The record is thin: 7,615...

Roman coins are closely dated and common among finds reported by the public in England. I use facet counts from the public search of the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) to build a complete district-level table for England: 275,206 Roman coin records, 188,831 of them assigned to one of Reece's 21 issue periods, set against 1,062,032 records of...
