Table type:

Raw Data

Documentation Author:

Paula Aucott

Chronology:

The data are for the single year 1952.

Sources:

1. The information is taken from table 5, 'Average consumption of solid fuel per head of population and per square mile according to regions, 1952', in the ????.

Notes:

1. The information covers the whole of England, Wales and Scotland and was entered in Portsmouth by Paula Aucott in Autumn 2015S.
2. The Scotland area figure does not include inland water.
3. Currently not matching to the auo because these units are not yet within the auo gazetteer.

Checking:

1. The regions are divided into northern and southern halves of the country. For the columns the sum of each set of regions was compared to the half total and the half totals compared to the overall total for the columns containing area, population, domestic fuel consumption and total consumption of solid fuel. The northern half was -1 out, but the overall total was correct.
2. For the rows two checks were done on the averages for areas. Firstly on the domestic fuel use average per square mile by dividing the domestic fuel consumption by the area multiplying to get the average and comparing to the figure in the average column. The North West region was +1 out. Secondly on total fuel consumption average per square mile by dividing the same check sum using the total fuel consumption columns. Again the North West region was +1 out.
