Survey of Preston – 1774

This is an abridged version of the 1774 survey of Preston attributed to George Lang. It is based on a photocopy in the Harris Reference Library, Preston. [1] A fuller discussion of the context of the survey can be found in the introduction.

The first page is shown above: it supplies the name of the person who presumably owns the plots of land, and the names of the plots. The areas of the plots are given in acres, roods and perches at the Lancashire long acre measure of seven yards to the perch, which gives an area of 49 square yards per perch. There are 40 perches to the rood, four roods to the acre and thus 160 perches to the acre. The value per acre of each plot is given in shillings; this probably represents the annual rental value and is followed by a total value for the plot. In some cases the value per acre is omitted but the area and total value are supplied, in these cases the value per acre has been calculated by dividing the total value by the acreage. In other cases no value or acreage is given, and here the absence is represented thus: 0a. 0r. 0p., 0/-, as in Barn, 0a. 0r. 0p., 0/-.

A number is assigned to each owner and this and the name of the plot appear against individual plots on the plan which accompanies the survey. Occasionally extra names are inserted against plots: these are probably lessees or renters, but it is not specified. These names and any additional information are inserted in notes in brackets after the plot information.

One of the largest landowners was Preston Corporation and its estate is treated differently. The names attached to the parcels of plots owned by the corporation are presumably lessees rather than owners. Also no identifying number is assigned in these cases.

The list below uses the following abbreviations: a. (acre), r. (rood), p. (perch), /- (shillings and no pence), /6 (shillings and six pence).
