Inland Revenue Finance Maps of 1912
A Valuation Survey was carried out by the Valuation Office of the Board of Inland Revenue at the direction of the Finance (1909-1910) Act 1910 for the purposes of Estate Duty.
Maps were drawn up showing the location and extent of each property and plot of land to be valued. The maps used were Ordnance Survey sheets at various scales, this one being 1:2500 to which the district valuation officer added a number, normally in red ink, the hereditament (a piece of property that can be left to someone after its owner has died). The extent of each hereditament was shown by a colour-wash along the boundaries, often in pink or green. The boundary of the ITP (income tax parish) was marked in yellow.
