Know Your Place

Know Your Place is the West of England’s online mapping resource that is putting your neighbourhood’s heritage on the map.

You can explore your local heritage online through old maps, historic images and historical data and contribute to the published information yourself.

Find out more about the depth of history of your street or village and explore historic maps going back further than 1840 to see when your house was built.

Know Your Place is free to use and available to everyone.

How to contribute to the map

If you have any historic photos of places around North Somerset or old family snaps that you would like to share, we welcome contributions. 

You can find out how to add materials in our downloadable user guide.
