Abstract

World War II and the following decades are often regarded as a pivotal point in the changing fortunes of British agriculture during the 20th Century. Preparations for the wartime emergency included a National Farm Survey that would reveal land capable of more intensive production. This paper outlines the development of an historical GIS of different data sources and focuses on the ensuing 'plough-up‘ campaigns of 1940 and 1941 on the South Downs, England and their legacy during the post-war decades as well as factors contributing to continuity of occupation by farm families.
