Dear R-user, I would like to apply spatial statistics on some historical data, in particular from 1850 to 1900 by registration district of England and Wales. I have searched in the R-archive, but unsuccessfully. Do you know whether R contains those shape files? Or where would be possible to download and use in R?
None of the contributed packages to R contain such shapefiles. I'm afraid you have to find them first yourself. From: http://edina.ac.uk/ukborders/description/data_by_country.shtml boundary data appear to be available for 1871, 1881, and 1911 for these units, if you have permission to use that service.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo Giovanni Camarda
