Every time I see a ‘trig point’, I can’t resist the urge to photograph it.

Something about trig points makes me want to try and visit them all. This would probably be a ridiculously tall challenge. I bet someone’sdone it though.

Geographical Magazine, March 2009:

Rob Woodall, 48, is attempting to become the first person to visit all 6,100 surviving Ordnance Survey triangulation pillars in Britain. For this exploratory challenge he now has fewer than 200 to visit.

Seven Social Tribes: exploring the demographics of Britain

This is a rectangular hierarchical cartogram of Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), where areas are sized by their population and are geographically arranged. The letters refer to UK postcode areas. The colours refer to the OAC group to which the local area is classified.

OAC is hierarchical, being classified into 7 super-groups, 21 groups and 52 sub-groups. These can be seen on the right, again sized by population. Britain’s large areas of low population density makes conventional maps at a national scale problematic.

The core-periphery structure can be seen in many of the cities. For example, much of the core of Birmingham (B) is classified as “Multicultural” with other OAC groups on the periphery. Note that larger areas refer to postcode area, not city boundaries.
