Scanned images of large scale plans

Scanned images of large scale or large format plans of all types including those relating to mining activity, including abandonment plans and site investigations. The images include plans held in the BGS Collection but also plans held elsewhere. The majority of scans produced from 2002. All the plans are indexed on BGS.ALL_PLANS and non-coal plans are also available by the Mining Portal. Not all the plans have been scanned. The collection covers the whole of Great Britain.
