Agricultural Land Classification of England and Wales, 1960-1972
The Agricultural Land Classification maps categorise land into five main categories reflecting their quality for agricultural use. They use Ordnance Survey One-inch to the mile Seventh Series maps for their base topography, and a coloured overprint to indicate the respective land quality. The Classification was introduced by the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) in the 1960s, with assistance from the Soil Survey of England and Wales, and the Welsh ffice Agriculture Department.
