The gazetteer of England and Wales edited by J.H.F. Brabner, FRGS, was published in 1895 by William Mackenzie. Originally published in six volumes and comprising over 200 pages, it includes over 25,000 individual entries and includes full colour maps of every English and Welsh county, plus plans of the major cities. The gazetteer is available on British Origins, as digitised images of the original books, including the maps and town plans, and with the entire text fully searchable. You can search for the entries for specific places and for any appearance in the text of the place name you are interested in.
The Publisher's aim was: "to make it the most trustworthy and practically useful work of the kind, whether to the resident or the traveller, to the man of business or the man of leisure-to all, in short, who have any relations with their fellow-countrymen, and who take an interest in the wonderful development of their native country in the closing decade of the nineteenth century".
