<idAbs>&lt;div style='text-align:Left;'&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This Web service provides layers which are spatial indexes to the coverage of BGS (British Geological Survey) geological, geophysical, and hydrogeological maps from various different map series held by BGS in the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC). The layers include the spatial footprint of each map, and metadata including the map title, map series, nominal survey year, copyright year, scale, base material, colouration, the availability of an image, and, if available, a link to an image of the map. It includes maps from the start of systematic geological survey work in the 1830s, through to more recent BGS mapping. The maps referenced by this Web service are historical, and are not the same as the latest digital geological mapping from BGS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13608439&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</idAbs>
